The Vatican Gardens are a unique location, where nature, art and Christian faith merge. Enjoy a panoramic minibus ride through the gardens of the world’s smallest state and discover the history of the places you'll see from your multi-lingual audio guide.
Over a third of the 44 hectares making up the Vatican is occupied by these green areas. Explore an enchanted world where nature is looked after with loving care by expert gardeners, artists and architects and where peace and contemplation are allowed to emerge at their best.
Take a 45-minute bus ride to this exclusive landscaped area - designed by great Renaissance architect Carlo Maderno - and soak up the splendor. You may even catch a glimpse of Pope Francis himself as he wanders his enormous backyard.
