What should I buy a pass in Rome?
Oriane & Angel's opinion
Angel: Rome the eternal city offers so many extraordinary places: the Vatican, the Colosseum, Mount Palatine, the Roman Forum, numerous museums, squares and magical places. How to visit them all? We unfortunately have to make choices for reasons of time, budget and distance!
Oriane: You’re right but there are very interesting (or/and smart) solutions to buy combined tickets, called passes, which allow you to book in advance your entrance tickets to the main monuments. And you know what? You’re actually saving money because the sum of the price of the possible entrances of a pass is much higher than the price of the pass.
Angel : Okay, but how do I choose? There are so many passes!
Oriane : Men always find it difficult to choose, don’t they? I’m kidding, first, you have to ask yourself the right questions and know what you want to visit. Here is my method to choose among all these passes : Rome city pass, Omnia Card, visit pass, rome card, Roma pass etc. Check it out!
Angel : Bear in my mind (my dear), throughout the year, there are busy periods when there is no more tickets to visit the Vatican, so you should plan ahead as much as possible.
To visit the VATICAN the last tickets for the end of 2022 are on our website.
