The area
Address
Neighbourhood: Vatican / Borgo
Frocked priests, colorful Swiss Guards, insistent souvenir shop owners, flag-waving tour guides, and pilgrims from around the world. This is the Vatican and Borgo, Rome's most recognized neighbourhood which acts as Vatican City's front yard. Aside from the souvenir boutiques and a few food spots, the only business conducted here is papal. In the daytime, the tiny medieval sector bustles with holy activity, as visitors vie for elbow room, or stand in line for a visit. Once the sun sets, the neighbourhood is transformed into a quiet and picturesque hamlet.

Very good attraction
Apr. 2022
We visited this Castel in April 2022. It contains many interesting parts which are well worth seeing. The views across Rome from the top are outstanding and not to be missed.

Worth a visit for historical reasons and simply for enjoying the view.
Many steps so not for all but if you go up all the way, it pays off. Beautiful view.

Castel in the Clouds!
Apr. 2022
We paid for the walking tour and were gifted with a wonderful view of Rome, very crowded out side and lots of people selling cheap things outside on the bridge, I wish that the bridge was not packed with people selling cheap crap, it would have been nice to stop and take photos without being asked to purchase something every 2 feet. In side the Castle, there were musicians playing in rooms, it was nice to stop and relax and listen to classical music.

Mausoleum turned Castle
Apr. 2022 • Solo
The Castle was originally the mausoleum for Roman Emperor Hadrian, before coming a fortress and being much added too over the ages by the popes. I visited during particularly inclement weather which made the visit very interesting! There’s a lot of walking and steps so I wouldn’t recommend for those who do not get around easily. As you may expect from the original circular part of the fortress there is a large ramp inside where originally Hadrian’s coffin wound around on its journey. Once you get higher up and out there are spectacular views all round the city. You can reach the roof through a very narrow winding final flight of stairs. Fortunately no Tosca throwing herself off!

Well worth a visit!
Apr. 2022
After standing in line for a very long time we came in and were pleasantly surprised to find the place not too crowded. Nice cool respite from the sun with some stunning features and good views from the top of the castle. From young children to old we all found something to like.

Not much after the view
Mar. 2022 • Couples
Considerable time and effort going around and up. During the climb, there is not much to see. Certainly the view is quite good. The ramps, inner building and rooms are definitely not worth it.
