These tickets help you enter the fortress in under 15 minutes, as opposed to enduring wait times of up to 1 hour if you buy tickets on-spot.
The busiest time to visit Castel Sant’Angelo is during the peak season from April to September, with the highest crowd levels typically between 10am and 4pm. During these hours, it’s common for ticket queues to last up to an hour.
