  • St. Peter's Basilica
    Step inside the spiritual heart of the Catholic world and marvel at one of the most important religious structures on Earth. Designed by some of history’s greatest architects—including Michelangelo and Bernini—the Basilica is a masterpiece of Renaissance and Baroque art. Admire Michelangelo’s Pietà, a moving sculpture of the Virgin Mary holding Christ’s body, and gaze upward at the spectacular dome, an engineering marvel that dominates Rome’s skyline. The majestic baldachin by Bernini, towering above the Papal Altar, will leave you breathless with its grandeur and symbolism.
  • Passetto di Borgo
    Venture through the Passetto di Borgo, a 13th-century elevated passageway hidden in plain sight. This secret corridor connects the Vatican to Castel Sant’Angelo and was historically used by popes to escape danger during times of siege or political unrest. Rarely open to the public, walking this atmospheric route offers a unique and exclusive glimpse into the secret world of papal Rome, surrounded by towering stone walls that have stood for centuries.
  • Castel Sant'Angelo
    Conclude your journey at Castel Sant’Angelo, a monumental fortress with a story that spans nearly 2,000 years. Originally built as the mausoleum of Emperor Hadrian, the structure later became a medieval stronghold, a papal residence, a prison, and now one of Rome’s most captivating museums. Inside, explore lavish papal apartments, ancient weaponry, Renaissance frescoes, and mysterious underground chambers. Don’t miss the panoramic terrace, offering breathtaking views over the Eternal City and the Tiber River—a perfect ending to a journey through Rome’s sacred and imperial past
