Went at 9:30 for our 9:45 entrance and they let us right in. There were a few people but not a ton so it was still easy to get around. The audio guide was okay. Sometimes it would tell you to go the next room before they started talking about that room other times it just started and you had to guess what they were talking about. The audio guide also stopped before we got to to the outside walls so there were some audio signs, but we didn't get to listen to anything while we were walking around the outside walls.

I find it very convenient to not have to wait in line to get in and the Audio guide is perhaps not well organized with respect to the one they give on site. The one on the App has folders with numbers that do not match the folders with the tour numbers. Maybe that should be improved. Because you are walking around and checking your cell phone trying to find the folder with what corresponds to each room and the truth is a little annoying. But overall the balance is positive

Roma never disappoints and neither did our visit to Castel Sant Angelo! It's a very nice place to escape the heat of city for a day, with a tonne of acient experiences. If you have young-teenage children, they'll love it too. If you’re just a nerdy adult with some spare time, you’ll have fun too! Quick tip, buy your tickets online to save big bucks. Definitely cheaper and quicker than buying them near the castle.

    • Experience Rome’s rich history, art, and panoramic views: all with one convenient ticket.

    • Ride the glass elevator at the Altar of the Fatherland for sweeping, unobstructed views over Rome’s iconic skyline.

    • Discover Italy’s unification story at the Museum of the Risorgimento and admire Renaissance art at Palazzo Venezia.

    • Explore opulent papal apartments, ancient prison cells and Renaissance frescoes at Castle Sant'Angelo

    • This combo saves you time and money while covering two of Rome’s most celebrated historic sites.

    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.

  • Save time and see two of Rome’s most iconic sites, Castel Sant’Angelo and the Altar of the Fatherland, with fast-track entry.

    Getting started

    Begin at either attraction. For Castel Sant’Angelo, show your ticket at Lungotevere Castello 50; for the Altar of the Fatherland, start at the tour operator’s office. At both sites, skip the ticket lines and proceed directly after a quick check-in.

    What to expect

    Castel Sant’Angelo
