Description

Step into the heart of Rome and unlock the secrets of the Passetto di Borgo, the Vatican’s legendary hidden passageway. Your journey begins at Piazza Risorgimento, where a friendly host will greet you at the Touristation kiosk, ensuring a smooth start to your adventure.

Walk the restricted Passetto di Borgo, an elevated corridor that once served as a secret escape route for popes during times of peril. As you traverse this historic path, you’ll sense the echoes of dramatic events like the Sack of Rome and the intrigue that shaped centuries of Vatican history.

After your exclusive access to the Passetto, continue independently to the iconic Castel Sant’Angelo. Explore its ancient walls, papal apartments, and former prison cells at your own pace. Take in breathtaking views of the Eternal City from the fortress’s panoramic terraces.

Your experience includes reserved entrance to both the Passetto di Borgo and Castel Sant’Angelo, as well as an engaging Ancient Rome multimedia video to enrich your visit. For those seeking even more, you can choose to add skip-the-line access to the Vatican Museums and the Sistine Chapel.

This unique tour is available in English and accommodates small groups, making it perfect for history lovers and curious travelers alike. Don’t miss your chance to walk in the footsteps of popes and uncover Rome’s best-kept secrets—check availability and book your spot today!
