View over Vatican is right for the tourist (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

sightseer

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'the tourist' is the definition.
(sightseer is a kind of tourist)

'view over vatican is right' is the wordplay.
'view' becomes 'sight' (synonyms).
'over vatican' becomes 'see' (I can't justify this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'is right' becomes 'r' (common abbreviation).
'sight'+'see'+'r'='SIGHTSEER'

'for' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for sightseer that I've seen before include "Visitor to famous locations" , "Tripper" , "Tourist visiting scenes of interest" , "Rubberneck" .)

I've seen this clue in The Hindu.
