Rome: Passetto di Borgo Night Guided Tour
Step into the shadows of history on a rare nighttime guided tour of the Passetto di Borgo, the Vatican’s hidden escape route cloaked in mystery and legend.
This elevated medieval corridor, stretching between the Vatican and the heart of Rome, has witnessed centuries of secrets, papal intrigue, and daring escapes under cover of darkness. Most famously, Pope Clement VII used it to flee danger during the Sack of Rome in 1527.
Led by an expert guide, walk through the Passetto after sunset—when silence and moonlight add a haunting atmosphere to this already enigmatic space. Along the way, uncover fascinating stories of popes in peril, Vatican conspiracies, and the secret life of this hidden passage.
Fans of Dan Brown’s Angels & Demons will recognize the Passetto as a key setting in the thrilling search for Vatican secrets. Now you can walk the same path—after hours, away from the crowds, immersed in the mystery.
