Castel Sant'Angelo is simply wonderful. A beautiful view of the city! It's well preserved and there are specific points where you can photograph the Vatican in the background. Fantastic. And it wasn't too crowded, which was great. A pleasant place where you can even enjoy wine and other drinks while enjoying the view. I highly recommend it to tourists in Rome.

Castel Sant'Angelo offers an absolutely splendid 360° panoramic view of Rome, which made our visit very enjoyable. Nevertheless, we did encounter some difficulties with the audioguide. It seems that the tour route had been altered by the official guide, rendering the information on the audioguide obsolete. What's more, the audio recordings were not in the right order, which made following the tour rather confusing.

Castel Sant’Angelo – the chameleon of Rome!

Skip the queues and explore it at your own pace, opt for hosted entry to ensure smooth access. Consider an audio guide to delve deeper.
The castle features five floors connected by a spiral ramp. Visit the chamber of ashes, historic cells of incarcerated ideological opponents, lavish Papal residence rooms, and marvel at an extensive weaponry collection.
