Hello there. I will be in Rome the last weekend of November and planning to buy online tickets for sightseeing. Found out every last Sunday of the month, Vatican is free! Does it mean free entrance to all Museums and gardens? Since I am already planning on bringing my mom to the Sunday blessing, I will for sure be there early in the morning

trepanito, Free Sunday is a really bad time to do the Vatican Museums. The hours are abbreviated and the place will be mobbed. As overrun as the most-visited parts are on a regular day, I can't imagine how bad a Free Sunday would be. Spend the $$ for timed-entry tickets and go on a different day: you could otherwise waste hours standing in line.
Oh, and no, the gardens and other parts of Vatican City, aside from the Basilica, are not free.
