My wife and daughter were the beneficiaries of the advance purchase tickets. Both loved the fact that they were able to bypass the long lines and go right in and spend their time touring the museum and viewing the city form the top of the castle. My wife said it was a view that she will never forget. The only disappointment was the fact that she had to climb the stairs as she was told she souldn't use the elevator. She is mobility challenged after her stroke and it would have been nice if the staff had let her ride the lift.

Smooth process, we got past the queue quickly and easily. The individual stations of the audio guide were not always clear and easy to find. We didn't find one station at all.

Purchasing the tickets was quick and easy. Your staff member who delivered the ticket to me was super nice. I liked everything about Castel Sant'Angelo and it was an incredible place. The view at sunset was spectacular.

When asked: if it was possible to have the audio guide, I was told that there are no audio guides in Castel Sant'Angelo. A bit of a scam !

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.
