Vatican Gardens.
One a day in the Vatican Museums. The Vatican Gardens are the oldest in Europe and arguably among the most famous in the world. Century after century, successive Popes altered their appearance, either to enhance them for summer recreation or simply to undo their predecessor's innovations. The plant collection was constantly expanding, and the rarest specimens of the world's flora found a welcoming home here. Magnificent gardens were created in English, Italian, and French styles. The architects were no less adept than the gardeners—in many corners of the park, stunningly beautiful, airy, and richly decorated pavilions for summer relaxation were built, where Popes could find refuge from the Roman heat and daily worries amid the symphony of fountain jets.
The magnificent art collection amassed by the Popes over several centuries has earned the Vatican Museums worldwide fame. The Vatican palaces housed magnificent examples of ancient sculpture, as well as works by such masters as Michelangelo and Raphael, Giotto, Caravaggio, Fra Filippo Lippi, and Fra Beato Angelico. History was also never forgotten, with the collections of the Egyptian and Etruscan Museums constantly expanding.
Today, the Vatican Museums have become a true city of art in the smallest state in the world.
You could wander its streets and galleries for weeks or months. But you can try to embrace the vastness by spending one day within the walls of the Museums and see all the famous "gems" of the Pope's collection.
The tour itinerary includes the Pinacoteca, the Carriage Museum, the Egyptian and Etruscan Museums, the Pio-Clementine Museum (ancient sculpture collection), the Galleries of the Candelabra, Tapestries, and Maps, the Hall of the Immaculate Conception, the Raphael Rooms, and the Sistine Chapel. If desired, the tour can conclude with a visit to St. Peter's Basilica.
