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.
Whirl through Rome's historic heart with this great-value combo, offering skip-the-line access to Castel Sant'Angelo, complete with an informative audio guide, while you save time and money on your Roman adventure.
