Countries that border Italy

6 land neighbours: Austria, France, San Marino, Slovenia, Switzerland and Vatican City. Each one has a page of its own.

San Marino and Vatican City border Italy but are too small for the Europe map to draw as a tap target, so they are not on the map above — they still deal in the capitals and flags games.

Why this one is hard

6 neighbours to keep in the right order.

9 countries in Europe have more than its 6 land borders. Of the 15 possible pairings among them, 3 are themselves borders, which is what turns a list into a knot. Austria and France are joint most connected of them, with 8 land borders each. All of them are on the Europe map with Italy, and on the world map with everyone else.
