Most outstanding view. Please note that signs to toilet weren't helpful. Same time with me three more persons were looking for the toilets with no outcome.

The access was very fast. There were very few people that day so we were able to stroll around the castle and even sit in the shade for a while.

Very relaxing experience - we went in the afternoon and meandered around the castle. Lots of shade and interesting exhibitions inside the castle. Fantastic views of Rome. We loved the little cafe - a wonderful view of St Peter's Basillica while drinking our coffee. The view at the top is spectacular - recommend sitting on a bench and savouring the sights of Rome

I could buy the ticket with no queues nor lines. The online purchase is very convenient. At the place I was able to listen to each piece of information separately and repeat the audio in need. After, the audio was still available and I could relisten to the stories. Additionally, each audio part has a title photo that facilitates determining where you are or where you're supposed to go. It was really great and I will use it again when/where I can. Thank you. :)

There is no line, so no waiting at the entrance. Also good is the audioguide solution via appa on the phone, the contents of which could be improved a little bit (a brief introductory history of the site, from its origins to the present day; remember to follow the itinerary suggested by the signage present).

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 185AD 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.
