Explore one of the Eternal City's most emblematic attractions. Spend more time delving into the rich history of Rome's iconic Castel Sant'Angelo, also known as the Mausoleum of Hadrian, with skip-the-line tickets. This ancient fortress, nestled on the right bank of the Tiber near Vatican City, is steeped in centuries of history.

Begin your exploration with Hadrian's tomb, also known as Hadrian's Mole, traverse the Papal corridors, and uncover the legend of Archangel Michael. It is said that his appearance atop the mausoleum, sheathing his sword, signalled the end of the devastating plague of 590. This event bestowed upon the castle its present name.

Your journey culminates on the castle terrace, where you can revel in sweeping views of Rome and the River Tiber. Here lies a fantastic opportunity to capture memorable photos of the Ponte Sant'Angelo bridge, fondly referred to as the Bridge of Angels. The panoramic vista will make the visit to Castel Sant'Angelo even more unforgettable.
