I loved the beautiful view from the castle terrace and the breakfast bar with a maritozzo and cream coffee, although the prices were a bit steep. I did not like having to download the audio guide: not having headphones, it was not at all convenient. In short, it was a good experience to visit the castle -- but once is enough.

It's really worth seeing the inside of Castel Sant'Angelo. The rooms are very magnificent, which you wouldn't believe when you stand in front of the castle. The audio guide is ok and helps you to experience even more. The view from the castle is really good on all sides. Admission was possible without queuing. :-)

Amazing to follow the history of this building. A suggestion, it was difficult to follow the numbers of the audios the way you have the numbers set out to begin with, until I worked out that you had some numbers in brackets. Why not just match the numbers of the actual venue?

    Wow! Incredible! Visiting Castel Sant'Angelo is an incredible experience! The ticket avoided the queue at the ticket office, we went straight to the entrance, read the QRCode on our cell phone and entered. In other words, everything was smooth, safe and perfect! We love it! I thank and recommend Headout!
