Tour of Castel Sant'Angelo
Castel Sant'Angelo is a unique medieval fortress based on the ancient mausoleum of Emperor Hadrian. Over the centuries it has undergone various transformations: from a fortress to a prison, and finally to housing the Pope, becoming a residence in its own right. The beauty of the papal flats leaves one breathless and the Renaissance frescoes are no less fascinating than those of the Borgia pope in the Vatican Museums. It is worth entering Castel Sant'Angelo if only to admire the splendid views of Rome and the panoramic terrace overlooking the city!

Where this sits in Rome
Rome is about 33 min by road from Rome Fiumicino Airport. Three thousand years stacked on top of each other, still busy being a capital. Stay central and walk — the Forum, the Pantheon and a dozen churches worth the detour are closer together than the map suggests, and the city rewards wandering more than ticking off.
