Description
Step inside Castel Sant’Angelo, one of Rome’s most fascinating landmarks. Originally built as the mausoleum of Emperor Hadrian, this monumental structure later transformed into a papal stronghold, a prison, and a safe haven for popes—linked to the Vatican by a hidden passageway. Wander through beautifully preserved spaces like the Papal Apartments, the ancient Spiral Ramp, and the Hall that once held Hadrian’s ashes. Then head up to the Angel’s Terrace for breathtaking 360° views over Rome and the Tiber. With included entrance tickets and the option to add an audioguide, your visit is seamless and full of insight. Upgrade your experience with an evening tour of Rome ghosts and misteries, taking place after the visit to Castel St. Angelo. Join us for an unforgettable experience just steps from the Vatican and the heart of the city!
