Description

Discover the Hidden Wonders of the Vatican: Exclusive Passetto di Borgo Tour Step off the beaten path and uncover one of the Vatican’s best-kept secrets with an exclusive guided tour of the Passetto di Borgo—the secret elevated passageway connecting the Vatican to Castel Sant’Angelo. Once used by popes to escape danger during times of crisis, this historic corridor is usually closed to the public. Now, you have the rare opportunity to walk through it with an expert guide who will bring its fascinating stories to life. After the guided portion of the tour through the Passetto, you’ll continue your experience at your own pace with reserved access to Castel Sant’Angelo. Explore its ancient chambers and spiraling ramps, admire stunning views over the Tiber and St. Peter’s Basilica from the rooftop, and discover the castle’s evolution from Roman mausoleum to papal stronghold and Renaissance residence. This unique experience offers an intimate glimpse into the hidden history of the Vatican, far from the crowds and tourist paths. Don’t miss your chance to walk in the footsteps of history and access parts of Rome that most visitors never get to see!
