We visited the Castel in the afternoon, the entery line was not all that long but with our pre-purchase tickets pretty much went in straight away. The Castel it self was very intersting, as it is built on an old Roman Fort and you realy got a great sense of it age as you made your way from the entry up to the newer fortications above. Exploring the fortress was easy follow the arrows and you wandered from room to room (if you had a self guided tour you would get explainations of every you would visit). We didn't use the self guided tour but we followed the path taking our time. From state rooms to roof tops to batlements there was plenty of opertunites to stop and take it all in. There is a tuck shop in the Castel for refrshments and snaks. All in all we as a family enjoyed the visit.

The Colosseum, Palatine, Roman Forum and Mamertine Prison are all within easy reach. The queue cutter wasn't much use, as I was there at 9 a.m. in the morning, and even though it's crowded, the queue moves quickly to get into the Colosseum. Please note! When you take the 9 a.m. time slot for the Colisée, the Mamertine prison doesn't open until 8:30. So you'll have to go to the prison to collect your tickets for the rest of the tour, and come back once you've finished. For the Castel Sant'Angelo, I arrived right on time and was able to get straight into the tour. It wasn't very crowded, but the entrance was smooth and stress-free.

Everything worked out perfectly. The tickets arrived by email the day before. The audio guide was great. It was a little more difficult to find the guides at St. Peter's Basilica as they were wearing yellow vests instead of the green ones described. Buy a ticket for the dome at the same time. We wanted to do this spontaneously and ended up standing in line for a long time. It wasn't nice, but it's not the fault of the vendor that far too many people are allowed into St. Peter's Basilica and the dome at once. In the grotto in particular, you were literally pushed through.

Explore all five floors of Castel Sant’Angelo, where statues, artwork, and historical weapons are preserved.

Enhance your visit with an audio guide to uncover how this castle functioned as a fortress, residence, and even a prison.

At St. Peter’s Basilica, admire masterpieces like Michelangelo’s life-sized Pietà and gain expert insights into its artistic and spiritual significance.

Descend into the Papal Tombs beneath St. Peter’s Basilica to witness the final resting places of past popes, surrounded by centuries of history.

St Pieter's is truly spectacular, really enjoyed the visit, I was worried about the queues but it was actually fine on the day and we were able to even get in early! However the audioguide which was something you could access through your own phone was really not good, it didn't work at all on my phone. It was ok on my husband's phone but it was hard to find where we were supposed to go to view the different parts featured in the guide. In the end we gave up!

I visited Castel Sant’Angelo today and it was an incredible experience. The place is much larger than I expected, and every section has something that catches your attention. There are so many fascinating details and pieces of history inside. The room dedicated to Pope John Paul II is especially impressive – it has a very strong and meaningful atmosphere. Overall, the energy of the castle is really good. I definitely recommend visiting if you’re in Rome.

We bought the tickets for our group of five last minute while in Rome. Once we had our tickets it was super easy to get them on our phone. Once we had the tickets was easy to get right in with a simple scan. The crowds were moderately busy but was so nice not to have to stand in line to get tickets. Highly recommend and is a must see sight while in Rome.
