We had booked for 10.30am but we were in front of the castle at 9.30am and were able to get in anyway, so it was great to have been able to book the connecting rods in advance and be accepted by arriving early.

Convenient purchase of tickets. I didn''t print them and had problems at the entrance xbecause there was little field and the tickets were not loading to be scanned at the scanners. It would be helpful to inform customers that it would be better to print them. In the ticket office they can't do anything xche they don't have wiifi and not having them comrati by them they can't help you. Otherwise everything is great. The audio guide is not up to date with the route, but it is still useful.

Convenient and fast ticket purchase. Immediate entry without having to stand in a lot of lines. Despite having been to Rome several times I had never entered inside Castel Sant'Angelo. The view from the terrace at the top is a spectacle.

I had to rent two audio guides at Château St Ange for 16€ because I couldn't download the app. But for entry without queuing it was fine.

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.
