Just days ago toured Vatican City gardens by bus. You need a guide to purchase ticket for you in order to see gardens where popes and saints pray. Besides being beautiful, there is a peace and calm that cannotbe experienced in books or photos. History is in German, French, English, Italian, other languages and I selected Spanish for the earphones you are provided. Great opportunities to snap photos from bus. Tour is 50 minutes long and a nice rest from all the walking and endless stairs and steps in Rome. Travel healthy and with sturdy legs. Bring Tiger Balm. Worth the journey.

Spectacular experience if you have the opportunity. Get tickets in advance for a tour through the Vatican Museums. We went first thing in the morning on a summer morning and it was fantastic. The walking tour was about 1.75 miles, with two breaks to refill water bottles and one for the bathroom. Slightly hilly and with stairs in ways that could be problematic for individuals with mobility limitations, but I think there may be a bus-based option as well. A tranquil start to your day before the frenzy of the museums.....

We visited the gardens via the official tour. It seems like it isn't favored over the museum tours which was great for us since out group ended up with only 15 people. We had a wonderful guide named Chiari who was so into what she did. I so recommend this tour because the gardens are truly stunning. It's peaceful to walk through and just see beautiful fountains, trees and flowers. You also get to see the Pope's private heli-pad 😋. The tour is two hours and includes entrance to the museum and Sistine.

Brilliant European gardens with historical, religious and spiritual significance. The gardens are astonishing! I highly suggest an early morning tour to avoid the heat of the day (plus you may get a smaller tour group). The guides are incredibly knowledgeable - feel free to ask them questions. There are different routes you can take so going at different times of the year you may see different parts of the Gardens.

Probably one of the most beautiful spots in Rome. It's a quiet, relaxing place that is filled with exquisite art from all over the world. foreign trees and parrots (that were gifts to the Popes) also make up most of the fauna and flora. interestingly there are also some greek gods portraied in there! I highly suggest you take time to visit the Vatican Gardens, its worth every penny and second spent in there!

The Vatican gardens are another amazing wonder of the VC. They showcase various sculptures, fountains, gifts given to popes and other amazing nooks and crannies with various flora and fauna surrounding it all. We got to view it because we had a tour of the museums that included the gardens. I believe you can only view it by controlled guided tour!
