義大利566
梵蒂冈是位于义大利首都罗马西北角高地的一个内陆城邦国家(国中国),为天主教会最高权力机构圣座的所在地,也是教宗驻地所在,是世界六分之一人口的信仰中心,梵蒂冈也是全球领土面积最小、人口最少的国家。面积虽小但据了解拥有独立的统治权,是欧洲人民的信仰中心,可以给人无形的力量,规范了多数人的行为,不至于为非作歹。

走进梵蒂冈,看到的都是历史,都是传统。为了心中的信仰,人类不断追求,不断探索,在完善丰富自身内心的同时,创造了无与伦比的物质世界。在那里人与神,物质与精神完美的结合。

整个博物馆就是收藏品,博物馆顶上的画无法用语言描述和无法用照片来表现,只有亲自去看,才能感受创世纪的精华。小小的国家,大大的宝藏。

梵蒂冈博物馆,必去,其中最经典的为西斯廷教堂,是米开朗基洛为教廷绘制的壁画创世纪,另外还有很多文艺复兴时期的雕像,绘画以及宗教壁画,另外还有一个埃及馆,没有和其他欧洲博物馆比较过,整个博物馆除西斯廷教堂外,其他均可拍照,有中文电子解说。另外梵蒂冈主建筑圣彼得大教堂以及广场,也是经典,教堂进去右侧有米开朗基洛的又一杰作,“岩间圣母”,非常精美。

我坚持我自己的观点和我自己所见的一切。而这一次倒希望我已经经历过了这个梵蒂冈花园的游览。我曾经想象过在漂亮的花园里,有修女和教父,周围还有雕塑和令人陶醉的小建筑,而这里几乎很少很少。我们被带领着开了两个小时的车,一路上几乎看着完全相同的风景,那就是圣彼得大教堂的圆顶,这是你不用花钱都可以看的。而之后的步行让人觉得疲惫不堪,因为沿路上连个坐的地方都没有,而且可以拍照的风景也很少,如果你爬到过圆顶上面去的话就可以看到修剪过的草坪,那是梵蒂冈的山顶,而这并不包括在这次旅行当中,所以这次花园一游非常平淡和无趣。把钱和时间都节省下来到更有意思的景点吧。

去看花园唯一的路是通过梵蒂冈,这里不允许自由穿行。花园里只有我们一个团。Alexandra是我们的导游,在博物馆我们穿过旋杆,然后通过一个侧门进入花园。他们有人查票,我们向他们出示了我们的票,因为你实际上已经进入到梵蒂冈的内城。Alexandra用意大利语和英语重复信息,还讲笑话给大家拍照。我们从教皇散步的西斯廷教堂后面的阴影地方开始。我们看到了广播发射塔、洞穴、科学学校,还有正在拍结婚照片祭坛以外的地区和在花园里从任何地方都能看到的圆屋顶。花园几乎都是绿色的,不过也有一些鲜花和一个稀疏的玫瑰园。花园里有罗马在陆地上的最高点。当我们走过时,天气很热,不过洒水器已被打开,所以我们可以得到梵蒂冈水的浇洒。旅行持续了2个小时,Alexandra带着我们走过圣彼得广场,然后我们从有瑞士卫队的大殿的左侧出来。不用在安全线接受检查,她就可以把我们带进大殿;我不知道我们怎么就不能够这样,尽管我们已经进入城市,也到了圣彼得广场的背后。这真是一次惊人的体验,向大家强烈推荐。

2002年的春天,我们跟团来到了这里。旅行团本来应该是说英语的,结果大多数时间都在说意大利语......导游会说大段的意大利语,然后再说两句英语,全然不顾我们这些英语游客的感受。不知道罗马的导游是不是都这样,反正我们很不爽。只有这样才能参观梵蒂冈花园,如果你对梵蒂冈非常着迷,你只能选他们,我是不会来的,真没什么可看的。总而言之,我们挺失望的。

The gardens were lovely. I cannot imagine how they look in spring and summer. We only walked through two garden areas on the tour as it was cold and rainy, but we got some nice photographs and a good look at the gardens and their contents. From one of the terraces over the gardens you have a nice view of Vatican City.

We had gotten online tickets to visit the Vatican Museum, but I had read somewhere that I could ask once I got there if they were conducting garden tours that day. They said yes, at 9:30 AM in English. The group was small and the guide very knowledgeable. My husband and I were delighted with the 2 hour tour of the Vatican Gardens. The serenity of the place, the lovely fountains, statues and gardens. We loved it!!!

Pass if you're not ready to walk for 4 hours and only have a 15 minute restroom/coffee break before going into the sistine chapel. Nothing remarkable about the garden unless you'll like to get a good view of the basilica's dome.

Nicely maintained gardens of the Vatican which just adds to the whole experience of visiting the Vatican. This, along with a visit to the Sistine Chapel and Vatican Museums, will easily take a whole day. Lots of walking so be prepared for that.

Well laid out. Trees are in shape. Plenty of Cesar influence in this part of the city. Modern and nice... need more sun in order to enjoy.

We only joined the Vatican Gardens tour in order to see the Via Triumphalis Necropolis on the day we had scheduled for Vatican City (combo tour was the only available option that day).If we could have skipped the gardens, we probably would have, since it really isn't anything that special. Don't expect a botanical garden or anything fancy. It's just an ordinary garden. In fact, some parts aren't even what I would describe as a garden!Sure, you get to walk in an exclusive area reserved for the Pope, but apparently the current Pope isn't even a big fan of the garden, lol. (The former Pope was, however, or so we were told.)

The history, the buildings, garden and just everything! The place is huge, and so much to see! We even came before it opens and the que was enormous. But, we got in quickly, and had some hours here! Everyone who works here is so nice as well!

I would expect nothing less than a well maintained and well kept gardens from the Vatican. Lovely gardens and combined with an visit to the Sistine Chapel this will definitely take up to the best part of a half day.
