• Passetto di Borgo - Uncover the hidden treasure of Vatican Rome: the Passetto di Borgo, a secret elevated passageway connecting the Vatican to Castel Sant’Angelo. Constructed in the Middle Ages, this fortified corridor served as an escape route for popes during perilous times. Walking through its ancient walls, you’ll journey back in time and experience a unique piece of history that illustrates the link between power, faith, and survival in Rome.
• Museo Nazionale di Castel Sant’Angelo - Explore the marvels of Castel Sant’Angelo with a convenient skip-the-line ticket and assisted entry. Initially built by Emperor Hadrian as a mausoleum for himself and his family, this impressive monument has served many purposes: fortress, papal residence, prison, and now one of Rome’s most iconic museums.

Enter and walk along the ancient spiral ramp that winds through centuries of history. Discover grand halls adorned with Renaissance frescoes, admire weapons and artifacts from various eras, and ascend to the rooftop terrace. From here, you’ll enjoy some of the most breathtaking panoramic views of Rome and St. Peter’s Basilica, a sight not to be missed during your visit to the Eternal City.
