Full description
Discover the history of this mausoleum-turned-museum with skip-the-line, hosted access. Located on the right bank of the Tiber only a short distance from the Vatican City, the Castel Sant'Angelo is an ancient fortress with centuries of history. Explore the museum's seven floors to discover an extensive collection of ancient artifacts and perfectly preserved frescoes from the Renaissance period. Built in 135 AD for the Roman Emperor Hadrian, the building has played an important part in Rome’s architectural history. Climb the spiral staircase to reach the Chamber of Ashes where a number of historical figures were incarcerated, before continuing up to visit the Papal Residence. Immerse yourself in the stories of each different room as you admire the art within. Finish your experience with a panoramic view over Rome and the River Tiber from the castle terrace. A great opportunity to take some photos of the Ponte Sant'Angelo bridge, also known as the Bridge of Angels.

We had the skip the line tickets and didn't do the guided tour, we were on our own. It was a nice experience, because we could see everything at our own time. It is a very interesting building, different from every other in Rome so it's worth a visit. We were around 9:30 there and it was a nice time, we didn't have to wait. As we came out there was a huge line 😅

I bought the skip-the-line ticket to get in quickly, but we had to wait 45 minutes... while people without tickets got in immediately... When scanning the ticket, I asked if we could have the audio- guide to compensate for the wait, the person was unpleasant... People with a guided tour (Crown Tour, I think) were able to start on time.

The lady from the service partner should only hand over tickets. She came from Castel Sant'Angelo (from the ticket counter) 10 minutes late. No apology for the delay and she was in a bad mood. A few kind words would have defused the bad mood of the many waiting tourists. There can be many reasons for the delay (including those that are not your fault), but at least you can then apologize or be in a better mood!
