Interesting history and great views! The rooftop gives a panoramic view of Rome. The upper floors have amazing frescos!

This was a great visit to the Castle. Having never been there it was great to see the amazing views of Rome and learn about all the history.
Timothy_M, Mar 2026
Excellent site, great views. Many many many steps to top. I think this was very interesting and historic to see.
EDWIN_M, Jan 2026
Great environment, able to roam free, not much people around. Details on every room, you could listen also ok your own device

Third party partner confirmed availability and Viator charged the full amount (with a hefty commission). Then the day before they cancelled without warning leaving us with no option for other tickets for the day. Waste of a day. Then a nightmare to beg for a refund. Absolutely ridiculous customer service. AVOID

Skip the line was fantastic and we got to spend our time exploring. There was lots to see and easy to navigate
Linda_D, May 2025
Despite booking 6 weeks prior, Viator didn’t book the tickets and availability ran out and our trip got cancelled the day before.
Appalling!!! Won’t be using Viator again!!
Estelle_h, Mar 2025
Cancelled my reservation the day before for no reason. Beware. At least let me know a few days before why?
Response from Host, Mar 2025
As explained to you by email, we tried until the last moment to find your tickets at the time you requested, and although we could have confirmed at any time (as stated in the terms of sale), we felt that this would cause disruption to your holiday schedule and therefore the reservation was canceled and fully refunded, leaving you free to book elsewhere.
We don't ask you to thank us, but we don't think we deserve your offense.

What an amazing site to see love the views from the castle will highly recommend this tour in rome great place for stunning pictures
Emerson_R, Aug 2024
Very interesting attraction and perfect for those with an interest in history and architecture. Inside there a few items relating to life in Rome in antiquity until the 18th century. On top of Castel Sant’Angelo there a great view of the city.
Victoria_F, Jun 2024
Beautiful castle, lovely cafe with great views. Pompeii art gallery was a hidden gem. Amazing medieval weaponry and armour on display.
Gennaro_R, Aug 2023
This place is very beautiful and nice. There weren’t much people and we can visit it very calm. But the day was very hot.
Michael_O, Aug 2023
Such an interesting site, so much history, and such beautiful art and stunning views. So glad i booked this activity with Viator, which made it so simple and easy!
Jorge_S, May 2023
Great place to visit. Full of history that ties up with the visit to the Vatican. In fact, you should visit it right after the Vatican to learn about the power the popes had in the region and how Mussolini changed all that and about the unification of Italy.
Jacob_K, Aug 2022
This option was definitely worth doing if you want to see Castell SantAngelo. The line was long to see the site and opened up availability for other activities to see in Rome when we visited.
Frederika_S, Jun 2022
The site was AMAZING! But do NOT use Viator for tix, they did NOT honor them and I spent 30 minutes arguing with them. Only use their official website to buy tix. I learned my lesson. The Castle was fantastic, especially the views from the top!!
Todd_T, Jun 2022
Ticket was delivered electronically and the visit was great and self guided. The bar at the top was a perfect place to rest and soak up the sights.
Elizabeth_S, May 2022
Awful. Never got into the castle. I never got my tickets in my email I just got the voucher. I messaged the person asking if we had to enter at 4:30 they said no we could enter whenever during the open hours. Well when we went they did not accept my voucher so I never got into the castle and the number of the operator no one answered I called 10 times. What a joke. And I emailed for a refund and no one responded so I have to take it up with my credit card company. SO RIDICULOUS

Avoid booking with this company. Maria left me hanging out to dry. Never responded to my emails and had to buy a full new ticket at the museum. She decided I was gonna be there at 10:30 am. Basically her decision what museum i was going to visit and when.
Jason_A, Jul 2020
Great Place but Viator never sent the tickets to enter and I called local support and they were no use. Could not get a refund so had to wait in line and then pay again. I called and contacted so many times and no one helped. Very frustrating experience.

The Castel Sant' Angelo was fantastic! The only issues were the crowds and the number of stairs. Tourists have a tendency to not be concerned about their fellow tourists and can be less than thoughtful. The views were breathtaking and the interiors were very interesting. Some of the labels were only in Italian.
Emily M, Mar 2018
Getting early tickets was a plus. Avoiding lines. The self touring guide was great. We were able to download the app to the museum and tour at our own pace. We recommend everyone to but tickets online and just enjoy a day of exploring. More than the history books you grew up on.
Jason_F, Mar 2018
A great site to visit in Rome. Excellent views of the Tiber River, St. Peters, and the Roman skyline.
Neil B, Mar 2018
An amazing building in its own right with beautifully decorated rooms and some of the best views in the city. As it is located only a few minutes walk from Vatican City, it is also the ideal way to finish off a visit to the museums.
Scott G, Mar 2018
This was a pleasant surprise after visiting the Vatican. A nice leisurely walk from the Vatican with fantastic roof top views over Rome.
Wayne G, Dec 2017
We signed on for this largely to avoid lineups. But the entry was timed for 9 a.m., when the museum opened, and there really were few people waiting to get in as the doors opened. So the more expensive ticket here was not necessary. Note, however, this was early November, so things may be different at other times in the year.
Which said, the museum itself is well worth the visit and there are great views around the city from the roof. There's a very good App walking guide for smart phones, which you can download free on site using the museum's wifi.

Not a place to miss! My husband and adult daughter and I climbed all over the Castel, even to the top. Not too hard a climb and full of history. We did an independent tour, but knew much of the history. View from top is magnificent.
Kenneth_M, Jun 2016
Guide was soft spoken and had to due the tour in multiple languages making it hard to stay focused. No audio on outdoor parts made it hard to hear information.
Jayne P, May 2016
Thoroughly enjoyed our visit. The views from the top are well worth the steps!!!. Amazing views across Rome - can see the Pantheon and Collosseum. 15 minutes walk from Vatican so worth doing before or after a trip to the Vatican,
Cindy T, May 2016
This was an entrance ticket, not a tour. We were not able to visit this attraction while in Rome.
