The most recommended time is "9:00-11:00"

The Vatican is a unique city-state where administration, religion, and diplomacy are closely related, and the employees and related parties who run it follow a very orderly schedule. 9:00-11:00 is the time when many departments and religious institutions start their work and daily activities are in full swing, making it the most ideal time to hold a meeting. This time is when people are highly focused and it is less likely to interfere with religious ceremonies and events, so it is easier to secure an appointment and the participation rate is high.

Also, many tasks in the Vatican tend to be focused on the morning, and important decisions and external responses are also concentrated during this time. In the afternoon, prayers, masses, and visitor responses are likely to be held in various places, and the concentration of meetings may decrease. Therefore, 9:00-11:00 is a time period when discussions and adjustments can be effectively advanced without disrupting the flow of work.

In addition, the Vatican City receives many visitors from other countries, and there are many situations where international cooperation is required, so meetings that are on time and focus on content are the basis. By setting this time when all participants can be highly focused, the productivity and effectiveness of the meeting can be maximized. If you are aiming for smooth cooperation with the Vatican, "9:00-11:00" is the most appropriate time.
