Highlights

Ready your phone for Instagram and climb Michelangelo's magnificent dome on our uplifting day of ascension!


At the Vatican summit, dramatic views of the vast city of Rome will amaze - every traveller must see this!


Back on terra firma we rest awhile before entering St. Peter's Basilica, a triumph of art and architecture where Bernini's brilliance and Michelangelo's genius rise above Papal tombs and the perceived necropolis of St. Peter himself.


After a short break, make the short scenic walk from St. Peter's to the fearsome Fortress of Angels. Towering over the River Tiber, this former Tomb of Emperors and embattled military fortress is the most impressive survivor of ancient Rome. Spectral sights and unusual lights have been seen at the dead of night!


With convenient fast track entrance, you'll be first in and first on to the medieval ramparts. From there, climb high to the top terrace and experience the second best view of Rome, you've already done the first!
