Step by Step
The Castel Sant'Angelo is much more than a fortress on the Tiber: it is the living narrative of Rome. With your skip-the-line ticket with audio guide app, you will visit the spaces that were the mausoleum of Emperor Hadrian, the palace, the prison and the scene of stories that have marked the city.
You'll start in the sober and strategic lower rooms and work your way up to the upper floors, where Renaissance rooms with frescoes, stuccoes and palace details await you. The audio guide accompanies you with concise explanations to help you understand how the castle was transformed over the centuries and its role in the defence of Rome.
The visit culminates on the panoramic terrace, from where you will see the Tiber, the Sant'Angelo Bridge and one of the best views of St. Peter's dome. A perfect ending for memorable photos.
In addition to the main collections, your ticket gives you access to permanent and temporary exhibitions, with pieces of art, weaponry and objects that tell the story of the daily lives of courtiers, soldiers and prisoners.
All in all, it's a self-guided and flexible experience: you set the pace, choose how much time to spend in each room and enjoy the castle in complete freedom, with no groups or rush.
