The building is amazing and the history was amazing. I loved the views. The audio was difficult to follow at times and the groups esp their leaders were extremely obstructive.

The check in was organized and easy to find. We loved the Castle and was pleasantly surprised how amazing it was along with the history. The views were incredible. Easy to find my way around. Clean and enough toilets. Will recommend. Grazie

the richness of the well-preserved site on the negative side: you have to download the audio guide onto your mobile phone, which I couldn't do due to the size of the file. Fortunately, I was able to share the headphones with the person accompanying me, as it was very interesting. You should have an audio guide system that's independent of the mobile phone, for people like me who can't download your application.

The inconvenience for us is that the guide not only did not offer us the wifi to download the application and the audio guide, she directly denied us the wifi. We asked her if she could offer it to us since in the description WIFI SERVICE IS OFFERED FOR DOWNLOADING to which the guide said No, there is none.

Easy to meet the rep but we thought we'd get free WiFi to download map. Didn't happen and the audio didn't work when we were in venue so we didn't really have all the facts etc

Explore the Mausoleum Leisurely

Visit the ancient fortress of Castel Sant'Angelo, a landmark only a short distance from the Vatican City with centuries of history hidden behind its walls. Explore this mausoleum-turned-museum and explore the seven floors of the museum as you uncover ancient artifacts, perfectly preserved frescoes from the Renaissance period.

Climb the spiral staircase that takes you to the Chamber of Ashes, where many historical figures were incarcerated. Continue your way up to the Papal Residence and listen to stories of different rooms as you bask in the glorious artwork within. Finally, at the Castle's terrace, drink in remarkable panoramic views over Rome, the River Tiber, and Ponte Sant'Angelo bridge, a great opportunity for you to take some pictures!

Tune in to your audio guide

You have the option of selecting a ticket that comes with a handy digital audio guide that will help you navigate your way through the Mausoleum. Tune in to the introductory commentary from your smartphone - yes, it’s that convenient! Learn well-known facts about Castel Sant’Angelo as you walk around the attraction at your own pace.
