Castel Sant'Angelo & Pantheon Skip-the-Line Tickets
About this tour
Two of Rome's landmarks on a single ticket. At Castel Sant'Angelo, the round riverside fortress that began as Emperor Hadrian's tomb, you'll climb through the Papal Apartments and up to the rooftop terrace, which looks out over the Vatican, St. Peter's Basilica, and the Tiber. Then head to the Pantheon, the ancient temple whose vast concrete dome and open oculus still stop people in their tracks. Skip-the-line entry to both is included, along with an Ancient Rome multimedia video.
Highlights
- Stand under the Pantheon's dome, still the world's largest unreinforced concrete dome
- Watch daylight pour in through the oculus, the round opening at the top of the dome
- See the Roman sculptures and detailing that fill the temple's interior
- Pay respects at the tombs of the painter Raphael and two Italian kings
- Take in a building where ancient Roman temple and Christian church sit side by side
- Explore the Roman heart of Castel Sant'Angelo, built as Emperor Hadrian's mausoleum before it became a papal fortress
- Walk the Papal Apartments, whose Renaissance frescoes show how popes lived and ruled behind the walls
- Reach the rooftop terrace for a wide view over Rome, the Vatican, St. Peter's Basilica, and the Tiber
- See the Passetto di Borgo, the raised corridor popes used to slip away to the Vatican in a crisis
- Browse the museum galleries of weapons, sculpture, and artifacts from the castle's military past
- Look up at the statue of the Archangel Michael crowning the fortress, the figure it takes its name from

Good to Know: Castel Sant'Angelo and Pantheon
Castel Sant'Angelo reads like a timeline you climb through. Start at the lower levels, where you can still see the original Roman mausoleum and its ancient stonework, then work your way up to the Papal Apartments, decorated with frescoes and period furniture from the Renaissance papacy. The upper floors hold a museum of arms, armor, and paintings, and the rooftop terrace at the top opens onto a broad view across the city. Plan on 2 to 3 hours here.
The castle sits on the right bank of the Tiber, a short walk from Vatican City. The nearest metro is Lepanto on Line A, about 15 minutes on foot; buses 23, 34, 40, 49, 62, 64, 87, 280, 982, and 990 all stop nearby, and it's an easy stroll from Piazza Navona. The Pantheon is a short walk away in the historic center; because it's an active church, check its hours before you go and keep your visit modest.
