Then discover the Castel Sant'Angelo, explore the museum's seven floors to discover an extensive collection of ancient artifacts and perfectly preserved frescoes from the Renaissance period.

Take a bus for 45 minutes to the exclusive landscaped area of the Vatican Gardens designed by the great Renaissance architect Carlo Maderno.

Next, discover the history of Castel Sant'Angelo mausoleum-turned-museum with skip-the-line, hosted access.
