Does anyone know if you need to buy tickets for both the papal palace and the Barberini gardens at the same time? We were thinking of just purchasing tickets for the palace and getting tickets for the gardens there if we decide we want to go. We are planning to go on a Sunday. Also how steep is that walk uphill from the train station to the palace- are there places to rest and how long would it take. Thank you
