There are some excellent landscapes to photograph from the top of the castle. But you can also observe the incredible preservation of the historic site that is Château Saint-ange.View original review in French

It was great to get an actual ticket rather than a voucher needing to be exchanged. We were unsure about getting the audio file to work on our phone before our trip but there was no problem at all. Skipped the line with our tickets and followed the audio story around the castle which was very informative. Beautiful views of the river from the top of the castle. Well worth a visit.Luisa

The castle is beautiful and yes it is advisable to book tickets to save the line. The view is beautiful from the top. I would only change that the meeting point was not so wide, since near the stairs other agencies also gather or that the person in charge would wear a shirt with the Headout logo.View original review in SpanishLaura

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.
