Highlights
Step back through 2,000 years of Roman history with a ticket entrance to the iconic Castel Sant’Angelo. Originally commissioned by Emperor Hadrian as a grand mausoleum, this fortress has evolved from a Roman tomb into a high-security Papal prison and a luxurious Renaissance palace. Admire the legendary Passetto di Borgo—the elevated corridor used by Popes to flee the Vatican in times of peril—and descend into the chilling depths of the historic prisons. Your self-guided journey takes you through the opulent Papal Apartments and up the ancient Spiral Staircase to the Hall of Ashes. The experience culminates on the Angel’s Terrace, offering one of the most famous panoramic views of the Tiber River and St. Peter’s Basilica. Upgrade your experience selecting the audioguide option and you won't miss any of Castle St. Angelo's treasures!

About Rome
Rome layers nearly three thousand years of history into one walkable city, from the Colosseum and Forum to Baroque piazzas and Vatican art.
Ancient Rome is still in plain sight. The Colosseum, the Roman Forum and the Palatine Hill sit together at the city's heart, the Pantheon still stands with its open oculus, and fragments of temples and aqueducts turn up between apartment blocks. Across the Tiber, Vatican City holds St Peter's Basilica, the Vatican Museums and Michelangelo's Sistine Chapel ceiling.
Top-ranked sights in Rome: Colosseum, Vatican Museums, Sistine Chapel.
