Quick, seamless entry. Great historical place to explore

Castel Sant'Angelo was my favorite sight to see in Rome. There is an amazing 360 degree panoramic view from the top. There weren't too many people (at the beginning of June) and that made viewing the different rooms very comfortable. There are gorgeous frescoes and architecture to enjoy. There is a lovely cafe with views and also a park located under the trees to visit once you exit the castle. Highly recommend.

Worth it. Didn't pay for the audio guide, as they're usually boring and we don't pay attention. We used ChatGPT instead, which was really great. our tickets cost $19, when the actual website of the Castel lists tickets for $18.50. So overall, the cost was great.
