Interesting history - go for the VIEW!

Better than expected. Some good rooms to see, fairly demanding steps, the view from the top was worth the ticket cost!

Castel Sant'Angelo

Very interesting visit. This castle is very interesting and also offers beautiful views of Saint-Pierre.

Questionable value compared to just going directly.

This was not a “guided” tour, other than the somewhat limited audio guide they provided. And l, skipping the line, at least for us, was irrelevant. It actually took more time to meet up with them, get vouchers, and then enter than it would have been just to walk up and go.

Great views!

This was a very cool place to visit. The views from the top were amazing! I highly recommend this. We received a downloadable audio guide from the tour company, and it was informative. We ended up mostly just wandering around but it was worth it to read/listen to. We spent about an hour there. There is limited air conditioning so in many places, it’s pretty warm! Some rooms were cooler than others.
