From the ancient wonder of the Colosseum to the breathtaking Vatican Museums, Rome is a collection of famous sights and hidden gems. But with so much to see, how do you make the most of your Roman adventure? City passes and tourist cards can help you get organized. Choose from a wide range of options and save time and money.
Which City Passes for Rome Are Available?
There are several types of City Passes for Rome and the Vatican, which vary in their scope of services. An important criterion is whether all reservations are included in the booking. This is especially important for the Colosseum and the Vatican Museums, as you may not be able to make reservations for the dates you want. Some passes include free use of public transportation.

Some passes also include free use of hop-on-hop-off buses. These are useful for getting an overview of the city center and conveniently connecting the various sights.
