Roma Pass
The Rome Pass card is a tourist card that gives you reduced-price tickets to main city highlights and unlimited use of the public transport for three days.
What it includes
Roma Pass
- Free entrance to the first two of the museums or monuments included in the card.
- Discounted entrance to the following highlights included in the card.
- Unlimited use of public transportation inside Rome (buses, metro, trams and suburban trains). This does not include special airport transportation.
- Discounts to some participating exhibitions, events and partner businesses.
As well as the card you are given a map and a small guide with information about associated attractions.
Besides the discounts themselves, in the Colosseum there is a reserved line for card holders, which will help you avoid long waiting times.
How to use it
On purchasing the Rome Pass you need to fill it out your personal information: name, surname and date of validation. The best date to write is the date when you use it for the first time.
On going to the first two attractions, you can go directly to the entrance rather than going to the ticket windows. From the third visit onwards you will need to present your card and a form of identification at the ticket window when buying entrance tickets.
The Rome Pass has a validity of 3 days from its first use and expires at midnight on the third day. You should activate the card in the morning in order to make the most of your pass.
Where it is sold
The Rome Pass can be bought in tourist information offices and in all of the participating museums and monuments. If you would rather not wait to arrive at the centre, you can find information centres in Fiumicino and also in Ciampino Airport.

Is it value for money?
The Rome Pass is worth it if you cannot get other discounts. The entrance ticket to the Colosseum and to the Capitoline Museums alone are worth the price of the card, besides these attractions you can use public transportation and get discounts in the following visits that you make.
Rome & Piu Pass
The Rome & Piu Pass is similar to the Rome Pass but it also includes transportation by the outskirts, although again excluding transportation to the airports.
Although the price difference is low, this card is only worth it if you want to visit the different villages in Tivoli (Villa Adriana, Villa d'Este or Villa Gregoriana), since the transportation by bus is included.
Prices
The price of the Rome Pass card is €25. The Rome & Piú Pass has a price of €27.
