The proposed tour allows participants to explore two of the Vatican City’s most precious gems: the Vatican Gardens and the Vatican Museums. Participants will have the opportunity to begin their journey with a bus tour through the Vatican Gardens, areas normally not accessible to the general public, followed by an in-depth visit to the Vatican Museums, home to some of the greatest treasures of world art.
The tour offers privileged access to the Vatican Gardens through a comfortable bus ride, where visitors can enjoy a panoramic view of this place rich in history and nature, usually closed to the public. Additionally, access to the Vatican Museums is included, which houses timeless masterpieces like the Sistine Chapel. A professional guide will accompany visitors, providing fascinating details about the displayed artworks and architecture, enriching the cultural experience with interesting explanations and answers to various curiosities.
Located within the Vatican walls, the Vatican Gardens cover about half of the territory of Vatican City. These gardens, meticulously cultivated over the centuries, feature an extraordinary variety of flora, as well as monuments and works of art that enrich the view.
The history of the Vatican Gardens begins in the Renaissance when they were designed as a place of rest and contemplation for the popes. Each pontiff has since added elements, enriching this space with new plants and artistic-architectural structures, transforming it into an open-air museum.
The tour of the Gardens offers views of various attractions such as ancient fountains, sculptures, and small sacred buildings that house artworks and relics, making every corner of the Gardens a true treasure trove of beauty and spirituality.
In addition to their beauty, the Gardens play an important role in the conservation of rare plant species, some of which are present only in this place, demonstrating the Vatican’s commitment to environmental care and protection.
The Vatican Gardens are loaded with symbolism. Each statue, fountain, or floral arrangement has been designed to reflect themes of peace, spirituality, and history, creating an environment rich in profound and universal meanings.
