Great Views!

This castle was close to our hotel. We walked by it several times and finally decided to go in. Glad we did. The building history is fascinating. There are excellent markers describing the various eras of use. There was a museum exhibition of armor which...More

If you're wondering whether or not to go in, just do it!

There are loads of people standing around outside this place taking photos, but the inside is pretty great too. If you're using the Roma Pass you can get in for free (if it's your first museum) or you get a discounted ticket (50% off!). This...More

Nice historic place just by the river

This is a very nice place in close vicinity to Vatican city. One can walk down from there and come visit this place. The architecture is very old and beautiful and a bridge connects to the other side across the river. A very picturesque landscape...More

Enjoyable Historic Journey

We toured the Castel Sant Angelo and were happy to find that you can get all the way inside, albeit in a circular fashion! It is really something to gradually go from a fortress/dungeon atmosphere, to an interior courtyard that looks like a small town...More

First Sunday of the month you can get in for free. Really interesting history. We downloaded the app and follow the path, but if you can take advantage of the guided tours, I would recommend that; they take you to places that are not open...More

Castle itself average however beautiful city views

Mixed experience. The interior of the castle was underwhelming and I feel the museum side of things wasn't done as well as it could have been (many empty rooms, cordoned off sections); however I was hungover so this did alter my level of interest. Wonderful...More

Mausoleum to fortress

Worth visiting for both its history and the magnificent views offered from the summit of the castel. A fabulous building definitely worth visiting whilst in Rome

Is there a cloakroom to store bags or luggage? We will be checking out of our hotel on Monday morning and would love to visit before we leave Rome - just not sure if we would be able to visit with suitcases! Thank you

We didn’t tour inside the Castel as there was an event going on. Maybe check their website. Maybe your hotel can hold your luggage after checkout while you tour and then pick up later? Sorry this isn’t much help.
