The entrance was well organized. Unfortunately, one of the 2 audio guides in the app could not be activated and the other was available, but unfortunately the language could not be adjusted. What a pity!

The visit was interesting. The place is very impressive and beautiful. Absolutely not to be missed. This is precisely why I highly recommend buying tickets with the skip-the-line option because otherwise you would spend most of your time in line waiting to get in. The only thing I didn't like was the audio guide to be listened to through the app because it was not updated according to the current castle tour route. It makes you start from a point where it is no longer accessible because the staff makes you start the visit directly from the second floor, not the ground floor as the guided tour proposes. As a result, you then lose the desire to keep going in and out of the audio guide to figure out what you need to hear based on where you are.

It was really easy to approach the Headout staff to have my voucher changed into actual entry tickets with some instructions. We had a really good time there skipping a queue.

At no time could we listen to the audio guide from the application itself from where the tickets are taken, we contacted customer service and even so they did not solve it. On top of that, the time of the visit was not the one we had selected, it said 9 am and at first the ticket said that you could enter all day from 9 am to 6:30 pm and we had problems to redeem the ticket.

Per l’audioguida ho già pagato, ma non ho potuto utilizzarla. Non c’erano audioguide disponibili né in tedesco né in russo, come mi è stato comunicato direttamente dal servizio clienti sul posto. Nell’app non era presente alcuna audioguida. Ho anche fatto degli screenshot.Chiedo gentilmente il rimborso delle 2 audioguide. Grazie

Your experience

A chameleon-like castle with a rich backstory

Castel Sant’ Angelo or ‘castle of the holy angel’ is one of the most remarkable buildings in Italy. Initially built in the year 135AD as a mausoleum for the Roman emperor Hadrian, the monument served as a military building and a place of refuge for popes during the sieges in 1527. Explore the castle, which is now a National Museum, at your own pace. Opt for hosted entry and be escorted straight inside. Add on an audio guide to gain an in-depth understanding of Roman history and architecture in your preferred language!

Spiraling history

Split into five floors that connected by a spiral ramp, you will have access to the chamber of ashes, and the cells in which many historical figures were incarcerated. As you move towards the upper part of the castle, you will also see beautifully decorated rooms that acted as a Papal residence and an extensive collection of ancient weapons. Check out the large terrace on the top floor, where you can wrap up your experience with stunning, panoramic views of Rome.
