Vatican Revealed & Underground Mausoleum of Hadrian
4h30
About this activity
Don't miss our flagship Vatican tour - it's become one of the top selling tours in Rome, and is taken to a new level by including a ticket and tour of the incredible, medieval fortress, Castel Sant'Angelo, which overlooks the River Tiber just a few minutes walk away from the Vatican City and St. Peter's Square.
You will get skip-the-line-access past the long public line and be walked through the Vatican Museums, Sistine Chapel, and St. Peter's Basilica with one of your expert guides. After seeing all the incredible sculptures and frescoes, created by the likes of Raphael and Michelangelo, you'll rest for a short while or even go for lunch depending on when your Vatican tour ends, before walking the short distance to Castel Sant'Angelo with wonderful views of the River Tiber and Basilica.
Castel Sant'Angelo, or Hadrian's Mausoleum, is a magnificent museum, so often bypassed by tourists who have done the Vatican. It's a truly remarkable environment with a history as rich as anywhere else in Rome. You will have your ticket in hand and a guided tour on the way so you'll learn everything about the area and miss nothing, with fantastic views of Rome and the Vatican to boot!
Castel Sant'Angelo is a mere 15 minutes walk from the heart of Rome, namely Piazza Navona and the Pantheon. This 2 in 1 tour is perfect for tourists who really want to say that they did more than everyone else on the Vatican side of the River Tiber.
