Full description

Join an express guided walking tour of the Castel Sant'Angelo’s terrace with skip-the-line tickets. Cruise past the long lines and enter the castle with your guide. Experience the magnificent terrace with one of the best views of Rome. After the tour, explore the rest of the castle at your own pace. The terrace view opens 360 degrees towards the city center from the grounds of the castle and beyond the River Tiber. Admire the St. Angelo Bridge, one of the most scenic masterpieces of Roman Baroque design, adorned with 10 angel statues symbolizing love and passion.

See the many iconic sights surrounding the castle such as the Palace of Justice, Villa Borghese, Quirinal Palace, Pantheon, Capitoline Hill, Aventine Hill, and Janiculum. Look towards St. Peter's Basilica to spot the Passetto di Borgo, a passageway connecting Castel Sant'Angelo to Vatican City. After this experience, you are free to visit the remaining levels of the castle at your own pace. Admire the other parts of the castle that was founded by the Roman emperor Hadrian and built to be his monumental tomb.

Throughout the years, the building has also been used as the private residence of the pope, a treasury of the state, a prison, and a place of public executions.

Our guide was wonderful! My family thoroughly enjoyed the tour - including my nine and twelve year-old children. It was the perfect length and pace. Afterwards, we enjoyed lunch at the restaurant on top of the castle. I would highly recommend this tour!

Alec was our guide for this 2 hr tour...he was funny, lighthearted but very knoweldgeable and engaging. Highly recommend adding a tour to Castel Sant' Angelo when in Rome. We didn't expect to see gorgeous art in several big rooms and then the view from the top was spectacular.

Thoroughly enjoyed the tour. The option we booked was for an hour but went on for longer. The guide Alicia was very knowledgeable and knew her stuff and was very warm and welcoming and willing to answer any questions asked by the group. Not a rushed tour at all, and we had plenty of time to take it all in and imagine what the castle would have been like back in the day. Overall a very enjoyable tour and highly recommended 👌
