Overview
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.

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.
