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!

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.
