Additional Information & Description
Vatican Treasures brings together St. Peter’s Basilica, the Passetto di Borgo and Castel Sant’Angelo in a single visit spanning Rome and Vatican City. The combination takes you from a monumental church to a fortified passage and a papal stronghold, with distinct spaces to explore at each stop.
Michelangelo and Bernini at St. Peter’s Basilica
St. Peter’s Basilica is one of the largest churches in the world and the Pope’s home church. Inside this Renaissance-era building, see Michelangelo’s famous Pietà, the only artwork he ever signed, and Bernini’s Baldacchino, the church’s centerpiece. Michelangelo also designed the massive dome, which you can appreciate from both outside and inside the basilica. These named highlights give the visit a clear focus: sculpture, architectural scale and the work of two major artists within the same church.
Walk the fortified Passetto di Borgo
The Passetto di Borgo connects Vatican City with Castel Sant’Angelo along an elevated, fortified corridor. You’ll walk through the passage and see its defensive walls, arrow slits and locked gates at both ends. Here, the interest lies in the structure itself: rather than viewing the connection between the two sites only from outside, you enter the corridor and follow its course, seeing the defensive features along the way.
Rooms, weapons and rooftop views
At Castel Sant’Angelo, explore the papal apartments with their Renaissance frescoes, then visit the armory’s displays of historical weapons and armor. These interiors reveal different uses of the building through the rooms and objects you encounter. The rooftop terrace adds another part of the visit, with statues to see and views across the Tiber River and Rome.
Reserved access without a guided tour
Your ticket includes reserved entry to St. Peter’s Basilica, the Passetto di Borgo and Castel Sant’Angelo, plus onsite assistance. A live guide, guided tour and audio guide are not included. The visit therefore focuses on access to the three sites rather than guided commentary.
