Blank map of Vatican City
The outline, free as a PNG, SVG or PDF. Label it, colour it in or drop it into a slide.

Using a blank map of Vatican City
For a country with nothing inside its outline, a blank map is simple: one shape, in the file format your tool takes. Vatican City has the Outline only version, as a PNG on a transparent background, as an SVG, and as a PDF for A4 or Letter. There is no With borders version, because the map has no regions to draw.
Cards, quizzes and slides
A "which country is this?" round works well with a single outline: show the PNG on a slide with no label and let the room guess, then reveal the name. Teachers can place the PNG at the head of a worksheet and write their own questions beneath it. For a display, the outline can be printed large and cut out of card.
Design work
The SVG opens in Illustrator, Inkscape or Figma. Give the outline a heavy stroke for a cover, fill it with a brand colour or place it as a small icon on a page about a larger area. The transparent PNG sits on any background, so it can go on a coloured slide or a tinted card without a white box.
Choosing a file
Use the PNG for documents, slides and worksheets, the SVG for anything that is resized or restyled, and the PDF to print on A4 or Letter at 100%. For print choices, such as black and white, see the printable map of Vatican City. When you need Italy beside it, names, pins or a title, Customise this map opens the same outline in the editor.

Questions people ask
Is there more than one version of the blank map of Vatican City?
No. Vatican City has no regions on the map, so the outline is the one version. It comes as a PNG on a transparent background, an SVG and a PDF for A4 or Letter.
Does the PNG have a transparent background?
Yes. Everything around the outline is see-through, so the shape takes the colour of the slide, card or poster you place it on.
Can I open the SVG in Illustrator, Inkscape or Figma?
Yes. The SVG is a vector file, so the outline stays sharp at any size and can be recoloured, given a thicker line or traced in a design tool.
Can I show Italy around Vatican City?
Not on this page, which shows the outline alone. The editable map of Vatican City has a Neighbours switch that draws Italy in grey, and you can download the result from there.
