Cross the moats of Castel Sant'Angelo

Avoid the long queues and get right to admiring the grandeur of the castle, on this intriguing tour with reserved access to its upper level and a refreshing drink. Your super knowledgeable guide has fascinating stories to share about its history, from being a mausoleum to a fortress, and even a papal residence.

Cross the Tiber River into the castle using the Ponte Sant’Angelo, staring at angelic statues along the way. Inside, walk through intricate corridors and rooms filled with art and ancient artifacts. In your choice of language, learn about the free thinkers, artists, and scientists that became political prisoners behind these walls! Each step is a journey back in time.

An exclusive step to the top

The highlight is definitely the terraces. Once you reach the top, the panoramic view of Rome is absolutely breathtaking. Gaze at the Vatican, the Tiber River, and the beautiful cityscape stretching out in every direction. It’s a surreal experience, standing there, overlooking centuries of history from what was once the tallest building in Rome!

To top it all off, the tour includes a complimentary beverage at BiblioBar, located by the riverside. If you ever get the chance, this tour is a must-do.
