Itinerary

Stop 1

Please exchange your Viator voucher for the official entry ticket at our meeting point located at Vicolo del Farinone 23, Rome. Directions: From Ottaviano metro station (Line A), walk along Via Ottaviano towards Piazza Risorgimento, then turn right onto Via di Porta Angelica. After entering Piazza San Pietro, take the first left into Vicolo del Farinone. The address number 23 will be on your left-hand side.

Stop 2

Discover the hidden gem of Vatican Rome: the Passetto di Borgo, a secret elevated passageway that links the Vatican to Castel Sant’Angelo. Built in the Middle Ages, this fortified corridor was used by popes as an escape route during times of danger. Walking through its ancient walls, you’ll step back in time and experience a unique piece of history that reveals the connection between power, faith, and survival in Rome.

Stop 3

Discover the wonders of Castel Sant’Angelo with a convenient skip-the-line ticket and assisted entry. Originally built by Emperor Hadrian as a mausoleum for himself and his family, this imposing monument has lived many lives: fortress, papal residence, prison, and now one of Rome’s most iconic museums. Step inside and walk along the ancient spiral ramp that winds through centuries of history. Explore grand halls adorned with Renaissance frescoes, admire weapons and artifacts from different eras, and climb up to the rooftop terrace. From here, you’ll enjoy some of the most spectacular panoramic views of Rome and St. Peter’s Basilica, a sight not to be missed during your stay in the Eternal City.
