The Vatican City is home to many incredible sights. St. Peter’s Basilica, the Sistine Chapel, and the Vatican Museums \u2014 all of them are ready to fascinate their visitors. Only a few people know that the Vatican hides another gem: the Vatican Gardens.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Often overlooked, the gardens are a peaceful retreat, away from the city’s hustle and bustle. In the Vatican Gardens, you’ll find yourself surrounded by lush greenery and stunning architecture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As a Roman, I’m always surprised to see how many people don’t know about the gardens or decide to skip them. Allow me to take you on a virtual trip to the Vatican Gardens. I’ll give you all the tips you need if you decide to visit and all the information you need. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Vatican Gardens are the official gardens of the Vatican City. They’re a place where the pope can rest and meditate. Apart from nature, the gardens host important buildings, such as the Vatican Radio, the Governor’s Palace, and even a small heliport. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Vatican Gardens cover an area of 57 acres. That is approximately half of the entire Vatican City. We could say that when it comes to being green, it’s hard to beat the Vatican! The gardens also contain 18 small shrines that the pope dedicated to the Virgin Mary.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In 2014, Pope Francis decided to allow the public to visit the Vatican Gardens. Only a limited number of visitors per day can enter the gardens. Such restriction is necessary to keep the integrity of the gardens. The limitation only makes the experience of seeing the gardens more special. You won’t find any crowds struggling for a selfie here!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
