Castel sant'angelo is beautiful and has an extremely interesting history. The audio guide was okay but not very detailed and a little confusing to follow, but the location itself was incredible and the skip-the-line tickets made it so easy to enter. Would absolutely recommend, I spent almost 2.5 hours there and had to force myself to leave so as not to spend even longer.

It was very helpful to already have our tickets and to skip the line. We did have a hard time determining where to go so that the audio would coordinate with our tour. It was helpful information but it was never in sync with where we were on the tour.

Me and my friend booked two skip the line tickets and we just roamed the castle ourselves. No guides or anything but still it was a beautiful experience. And as for the tickets we just showed them at the staff at the entrance and everything went smoothly. I advise anyone who wants to visit the site to book tickets as the waiting line was very big. We received the tickets at our email about an hour after the payment as it was said

Castel Sant'Angelo itself. Unfortunately, the German audio description is not correct at one point and you are taken up one floor too early.

The tickets were easy to redeem and use. The instructions on how to meet the representative on-site were accurate and provided adequate details.

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.
