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.

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.

    the place was very nice, the views were beautiful and the architecture was great. going up to the terrace and seeing the horizon was magical, and you could always see the Vatican, I highly recommend it.

    The place is charming but I had to buy the guide of the castle again because the one I bought here did not correspond to what I could see.

    Castel Sant’Angelo – the chameleon of Rome!
