Step by Step

Live a unique experience in Rome by discovering two of its most fascinating sites: Castel Sant'Angelo and the Passetto di Borgo. Thanks to this skip-the-line entrance, you will avoid waiting in line and enter directly into the living history of the Italian capital.

The Passetto di Borgo is a legendary structure: an elevated passageway connecting Vatican City to Castel Sant'Angelo, used for centuries as an escape route by popes in times of danger. Walking along this route is like stepping back in time and following in the footsteps of popes, soldiers and conspirators.

Once at Castel Sant'Angelo, you will be immersed in over 1,900 years of history. Originally built as the mausoleum of Emperor Hadrian, the castle evolved into a fortress, papal residence, prison and now museum. Inside you will find war artefacts, frescoes, sculptures, hidden passages and medieval weaponry.

From the castle's terrace, you will have one of the most breathtaking views of Rome, with the Tiber River, St. Peter's Basilica and the Vatican at your feet. The experience culminates with an unrivalled panoramic view of the eternal city.
