Gardens of Vatican City

Experience Italy's best-kept secrets at these 6 hidden gems in Rome - SilverKris

"A secluded, contemplative green enclave tucked behind the palace walls, offering groomed lawns, box hedges, quirky fountains, stately sculptures and an artsy artificial grotto devoted to Our Lady of Lourdes. Highlights include an olive tree gifted by the government of Israel and several institutional buildings such as Vatican Radio and the Governor’s Palace, and visiting requires advance planning because public access is limited—book tickets online a few weeks ahead for the best chance of solitude away from the museum crowds." - SilverKris
