Saint Angel's Castle. Very interesting place, showing a piece of history. It is good that a lot has been preserved, an impressive monument . Raphael's sculpture stands guard there with dignity 😀the views from the tower are breathtaking, the idea of a cafe on the terraces, where with a cup of coffee, a glass of Aperol you can admire it all super 🤩 the exhibition dedicated in honor of John Paul II was mega impressive. There were no big queues behind the tickets, but having the opportunity to buy online you gain several minutes, which with a busy schedule of sightseeing priceless

Went at 9:30 for our 9:45 entrance and they let us right in. There were a few people but not a ton so it was still easy to get around. The audio guide was okay. Sometimes it would tell you to go the next room before they started talking about that room other times it just started and you had to guess what they were talking about. The audio guide also stopped before we got to to the outside walls so there were some audio signs, but we didn't get to listen to anything while we were walking around the outside walls.

I find it very convenient to not have to wait in line to get in and the Audio guide is perhaps not well organized with respect to the one they give on site. The one on the App has folders with numbers that do not match the folders with the tour numbers. Maybe that should be improved. Because you are walking around and checking your cell phone trying to find the folder with what corresponds to each room and the truth is a little annoying. But overall the balance is positive

Experience Rome’s rich history, art, and panoramic views: all with one convenient ticket.

Ride the glass elevator at the Altar of the Fatherland for sweeping, unobstructed views over Rome’s iconic skyline.

Discover Italy’s unification story at the Museum of the Risorgimento and admire Renaissance art at Palazzo Venezia.

Explore opulent papal apartments, ancient prison cells and Renaissance frescoes at Castle Sant'Angelo

This combo saves you time and money while covering two of Rome’s most celebrated historic sites.

We almost missed this treasure. It was our 2nd last day in Roma and we scrambled to find something for the afternoon as the rain cleared up earlier than forecast. My wife saw this castle and we booked through Headout for skip the line tickets in the afternoon and we truly skipped a huge line! How did we miss this destination in our months long planning?!! First we crossed a bridge, but not just any bridge. The Tiber river has many bridges, but oh my, this is a walking only bridge that ends in the monument itself. Ponte Sant'Angelo is amazing, with individually unique towering angels standing guard to the entrance of the Castel. Views of the Vatican nearby and the 360 panoramic views of Roma from the top terrace are as enticing as the models of the fortress, the art and artifacts contained within its walls and that mighty bronze statue of Arcangel Michael, the guardian of God's people. Don't miss this!!!

Good day I had to organize tickets for a group. Since everything runs via an app, I could not forward them to the people. The tickets could not be printed by the app, which is why I had to request the tickets as a pdf via support. In addition, 1 ticket was not delivered to us (Wyss Monika) and we were forced to buy it again on site. I couldn't forward the audio guide to the group participants, so we couldn't use it unless everyone had downloaded the app. They were older people, so that was not reasonable.

With the online ticket and the time set for it, you can enter Castel Sant'Angelo conveniently and without having to queue. Numerous wow experiences await you there. Special exhibitions, corridors, views of St. Peter's Basilica and a small café/bistro where you can get a seat and enjoy the view even when there are lots of visitors.

Castel san Angelo is a great site and fortunately not too busy. The audio guide was very descriptive but it was difficult to track the various places that were being spoken about. Overall a great skip the line access and a good audio guide

Save time and see two of Rome’s most iconic sites, Castel Sant’Angelo and the Altar of the Fatherland, with fast-track entry.

Getting started

Begin at either attraction. For Castel Sant’Angelo, show your ticket at Lungotevere Castello 50; for the Altar of the Fatherland, start at the tour operator’s office. At both sites, skip the ticket lines and proceed directly after a quick check-in.
