Highlights
Imagine walking along the same walls that for centuries protected emperors, popes and hidden treasures. Castel Sant’Angelo is not just a fortress: it is an exciting journey into the beating heart of Rome’s history. Born as a mausoleum of Emperor Hadrian, it was transformed into a medieval fortress, papal residence and even a secret prison. During this exclusive tour, you will explore hidden passages, ancient frescoed rooms and discover the picturesque Passetto di Borgo, the corridor that connects the castle to the Vatican Palaces. You will be breathless looking out from the panoramic terrace, where Rome reveals itself in all its beauty: from the Dome of St. Peter to the profile of the Altar of the Fatherland. An experience that mixes history, art and mystery, perfect for those who want to discover the most fascinating and less known face of the Eternal City. Get ready for an adventure that will take you back in time... without ever losing sight of the magic of Rome.

About Rome
Rome layers nearly three thousand years of history into one walkable city, from the Colosseum and Forum to Baroque piazzas and Vatican art.
Ancient Rome is still in plain sight. The Colosseum, the Roman Forum and the Palatine Hill sit together at the city's heart, the Pantheon still stands with its open oculus, and fragments of temples and aqueducts turn up between apartment blocks. Across the Tiber, Vatican City holds St Peter's Basilica, the Vatican Museums and Michelangelo's Sistine Chapel ceiling.
Top-ranked sights in Rome: Colosseum, Vatican Museums, Sistine Chapel.
