In today's time, most of the countries of the world have become advanced. The people here, the lifestyle of the people, everything has become advanced. In earlier times, people used to travel on foot from one place to other. But as time progressed, the way of traveling started changing. From bullock carts to airplanes were being manufactured for traveling. But do you know that even after making so much progress in the world, today there are some countries where there is not even a single airport? Through airplanes, people reach from one place to another in a very short time. But it is quite strange that there are still five such countries in the world, where there is not a single airport. People travel to their neighbouring countries through road or waterways and then take airplanes from there and leave for other places. Tourists coming from other countries also reach these 5 countries in the same way. Let us know which are those unique 5 countries, where there are no airports even today.

This is the center of the Roman Catholic Church, the main sect of Christianity, and this is the residence of the Pope, the supreme religious leader of this sect. Vatican City has no airport, so if you want to explore this city then you will have to fly to Rome's Leonardo da Vinci Airport instead, and then take a taxi, which takes about 35 minutes.

It is famous for the glamorous Monte Carlo Casino, the Formula One car race as well as the luxurious life of the royal family.
