If you want to see as much as possible of the Italian capital but want to save money at the same time, the Roma Pass is definitely the best option for you!

With this pass you can use the public transport throughout Rome without paying anything. This makes it incredibly easy to get to wherever you want, whenever you want.

The first two museums or excavations you want to visit are totally free of charge if you have the Roma Pass. For all other museums or sights you will get a discount of up to 50%. This isn’t the only advantage either. The coliseum for example has a separate entrance for visitors owning the Roma Pass. So you don’t need to wait in the long queue. Just pass it to one of the staff and swan past the other visitors just like a VIP. This will then give you more time to visit the other million attractions that you can find in Italy’s capital.

The pass costs 20 Euro and you can buy it at almost every tourist information point. However, some sights and museums working in cooperation with the pass give you the chance to buy it there. If you buy the pass you will also get a small map of Rome along with an overview of all events, museums and sight that you can get discounts for.

The pass is very good if you really want to make the most of your trip to Rome and see as much as possible. The pass is only valid for three days so you should make the most of it and take advantage of any attraction offering benefits from it; you’re sure to save a lot of money and time by doing this. However, do take into consideration that Rome does have an awful lot to see and that it’s pretty much impossible to do everything in three days. It is perfect however if you’re just visiting for the weekend.

If you don’t want to stay within the city centre and want to see the surrounding areas, you can buy the Roma & Piú Pass. For 25 Euros it gives you the same as the Roma Pass but also including advantages for the Lazio region.

To make the planning of your trip as easy as possible, you should have a look at the Roma Pass website in advance. You should do the same with your Rome accommodation decision (Unterkunft in Rom). If you are travelling with a large group of people, an apartment (Ferienwohnungen Rom) is highly recommended. You will all have more space and it’s much cheaper than a Hotels Rom.
