Place description

Castel Sant’Angelo, on the banks of the Tiber, originally served as the tomb of Emperor Hadrian and later as a fortress and refuge for the Pope. Today it is one of the most interesting places in Rome – not only for its history, but mainly for the view.

I definitely recommend going all the way to the top. From there you’ll get a great view of the whole of Rome – you’ll see the river, the Bridge of Angels and St Peter’s Basilica. It’s the perfect place to sit down, take a breather and just enjoy the city.
