The Vatican Gardens Botanical Tour is for those who like to see The Vatican from different angle. Tickets for The Vatican Gardens Botanical Tour here!
This is a minibus tour through the botanical gardens behind St. Peter's Basilica. You'll see the English, French and Italian gardens, fountains, sculptures and monuments. The Vatican Gardens have been a Papal retreat since the 13th century. This tour offers a most unique atmosphere. Here you will walk in the footsteps of popes down the centuries, see the walled gardens, covering some 23 hectares, abound with rare and wonderful botanical specimens from across the globe.
History and archaeology is never too far away either. Orchards and vineyards have been cultivated there since medieval times and Pope Julius II redesigned the gardens in 1509. Baroque and Renaissance fountains and sculptures decorate the landscape.
The Rose Garden and replica Lourdes Grotto are highlights on this tour, which has become a popular next destination for customers who have seen the Vatican Museums and St. Peter's Church.
