Roma pass and omnia pass

The Roma Pass is a unique tourist card that allows discover Rome by spending less money. It includes access to favorite sites such as the Colosseum, Capitoline Museums, Roman Forum & the Palatine Hill, the Borghese Gallery, Castle Sant’Angelo, and the ruins via Appia Antica and Ostia Antica, and many more attractions, contemporary art galleries, and museums.

In my opinion, a more convenient and profitable option is to buy a Rome Tourist Card, which includes:

  1. Guided tour of St. Peter’s Basilica with an official Vatican guide.
  2. Access to the Vatican Museums & Sistine Chapel.
  3. Priority access to the Colosseum, Roman Forum, and Palatine Hill.
  4. Audio guide app with 130+ points of interest in the city.
  5. Downloadable audio guide app for a self-guided tour of the Pantheon.

In any case, let’s do a detailed review of what offers us Roma Pass:

The Roma pass to save money and skip the queues
The Roma Pass saves your time in many ways. For instance, you can’t always buy tickets for individual journeys on the bus, while the Rome Pass Card relieves you from this stress. Also, it gives a benefit from speedy access in specific locations.
There are two types of Rome city cards, the Roma Pass and the Omnia Pass. They have only several differences: the Omnia Pass has a limit of attractions that you can visit for free, but offers a simple city guide, while the Rome Pass provides more attractions for free, but with an app and city map included in it.

Where to buy

•    Online (www.romapass.it);
•    By calling the call center (+39) 060608 (payment by credit card);
•    In all participating Museums and sites.

A faster and more convenient option is to place it on the site with a few clicks on Tiquets.com:
