Step by Step
A visit to Castel Sant'Angelo is a journey through the living history of Rome. This majestic circular building, on the banks of the Tiber and just a few steps from the Vatican, was built in 135 as the tomb of Emperor Hadrian. Over time, it was adapted as a fortress, prison, papal refuge and even an opera stage, as in Puccini's Tosca.
With this ticket, you can enjoy the castle at your own pace thanks to a downloadable audio guide, which will accompany you as you explore its rooms, passages and galleries. Every corner bears traces of the castle's many uses, from Renaissance murals to military memorabilia in the National Museum inside.
The lower part of the castle is sober and evocative, with stone corridors that preserve the original spirit of the mausoleum. As you ascend, you'll discover lavish rooms decorated during the papal era, with frescoes, sculptures and increasingly impressive views.
One of the most memorable experiences of the visit is reaching the rooftop. From there, a privileged view of the Vatican, the Tiber River, Trastevere and other Roman icons unfolds. Don't forget to bring a charged mobile phone and headphones to make the most of the audio guide.
Plus, access is quick and hassle-free: you'll receive a digital ticket and a second email with the link to download the audio guide app. It is advisable to check carefully the assigned time, which may vary slightly from the one you select.
