Overview

Want to know what makes Rome one of the most spectacular cities on Earth? Go on our Vatican Walking Tour for an unforgettable journey where history, faith, and beauty come together in one powerful experience. 2025 is the Holy Year of Jubilee, one of the most significant traditions in the Catholic Church and the perfect time to discover the Vatican in its glory.

Walk a similar route as the pilgrims who came to Rome in search of a spiritual awakening and see the most sought-after sites in Vatican City. Marvel at the imposing Chiesa di Sant’Ignazio di Loyola, stroll through Piazza Navona, and learn about the history of Castel Sant’Angelo, a former fortress, papal refuge, and even a prison. We’ll finish the tour near Saint Peter’s Square, home to the Holy Door.

Whether you’re a pilgrim in search of something holy or a curious traveller eager to learn about Rome’s rich history, our Vatican Walking Tour offers a unique perspective and exploration of the Eternal City
