Rome is known for its location on the seven hills while the Vatican is located within Rome itself as an independent state.

Well, the Vatican is WITHIN Rome, so they are both on the Seven Hills.

Rome sits upon Seven Hills - - - -
Here is Wikipedia's Blurb
Seven hills of Rome
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
"The Seven Hills of Rome east of the Tiber form the heart of Rome. The Seven Hills of early Rome were the Cermalus, Cispius, Fagutal, Oppius, Palatium, Sucusa, and Velia, figuring prominently into Roman mythology, religion, and politics; the original city was held by tradition to have been founded by Romulus on the Palatine Hill (Collis Palatinus). The other six are now the Aventine (Collis Aventinus), the Capitoline (Capitolinus), the Quirinal (Quirinalis), the Viminal (Viminalis), the Esquiline (Esquilinus), and the Caelian (Caelius).
A mnemonic device used to memorize their names gives them in clockwise order, starting with the Quirinal. It is: Queen Victoria Eyes Caesar's Awfully Painful Corns for the Quirinal, Viminal, Esquiline, Caelian, Aventine, Palatine, and Capitoline Hills.
Map of early Rome showing the seven hillsInitially and traditionally, the seven hills were occupied by small settlements and not grouped or recognized as a city called "Rome." The denizens of the seven hills began to participate in a series of religious games which started to bond the groups together. The city of Rome thus came into being as these separate settlements acted as a group, draining the marshy valleys between them and turning them into markets and fora.
The now-famous Vatican Hill (Latin Collis Vaticanus) is northwest of the Tiber and is not one of the Seven Hills of Rome. Likewise, the Pincian Hill (Latin Mons Pincius), to the north, and the Janiculum Hill (Latin Ianiculum), to the west, are not counted among the traditional Seven Hills.
Of the Seven Hills of current Rome, five (Aventine, Caelian, Esquiline, Quirinal, and Viminal hills) are populated with monuments, buildings, and parks; the Capitoline now hosts the Municipality of Rome; and the Palatine Hill is an archaeological area."
But the Vatican is on the other side of the Tiber River
"Vatican Hill, a hill in Rome on the opposite side of the Tiber from the traditional seven hills of Rome"
Peace

It is Rome, literally. The Vatican City is too small to sit on even two hills.
