Italy's city passes: how to choose one

A city pass in Italy bundles museum entries, and in Rome public transport too, into one purchase. Rome has six, the city's official Roma Pass among them. Florence has the Firenze Card, the city's own museum card, plus passes for the Uffizi, Palazzo Pitti and the Accademia. Naples has the Campania Artecard, Milan the YesMilano City Pass, Verona the VeronaCard and Turin the Torino+Piemonte Card. Whether one pays off depends on your list, so every pass here comes with what the same tickets cost bought one by one.

Three kinds of Rome city pass

Rome’s passes look alike on a shop shelf, but they work in three different ways. The Roma Pass is a city card: for 48 or 72 hours you ride the metro, buses and trams, you get one or two included entries at the sites you pick, and the reduced ticket at the others on its list.

The Rome Tourist Card and the Vatican City Pass are bundles of tickets. You choose some of them as you buy and set your dates at checkout, and there’s no 48- or 72-hour clock to beat. The Omnia Card sits in between: the 24-hour card is the Vatican with a sightseeing bus, and the 72-hour one adds a Roma Pass. The Go City and Turbopass passes are built around a longer list of attractions, and the Turbopass books the Colosseum and the Vatican for you.

Buy Roma Pass

When a Rome city pass pays off

A pass saves money when the tickets you’d buy anyway add up to more than its price. With the Colosseum alone, the Roma Pass costs more than the ticket, and on the bundles the tickets bought one by one come out about the same or cheaper. Each pass page here lists every ticket with its price, so you can see where the difference is before you pay.

Check your dates too. Many museums close on Mondays, and on the first Sunday of the month Rome’s state and city museums are free for everyone, so an included entry is wasted there. Under-18s go in free to the state museums and sites, which is why a pass rarely helps children.

Booked times and the Roma Pass app

A pass doesn’t replace a booked time. At the Colosseum and the Borghese Gallery, Roma Pass holders book their slot before they go and show the card at the gate, and with the Vatican bundles you set your dates when you buy. The Roma Pass lives as QR codes in its app, which needs a recent iPhone or Android phone and mobile data in Italy.

Portugal too: the Lisboa Card and the Porto passes

If Portugal is on the same trip, our sister site Portugal City Cards covers Lisbon and Porto the same way. In Lisbon that means the Lisboa Card: 51 museums and monuments included, with the metro, trams and the train to Sintra on the same card.

Porto no longer has a city card of its own. Four passes have taken the old Porto.CARD’s place, and our page on which Porto card to buy sets them side by side.

Frequently asked questions

Which Rome pass is best?

For the Colosseum, other ancient sites and public transport, the Roma Pass. For the Vatican Museums and the Colosseum in one purchase, the Rome Tourist Card; for the Vatican alone, the Vatican City Pass or the 24-hour Omnia. If you'd rather someone else booked your Colosseum and Vatican times, the Turbopass.

Is a city pass worth it in Rome?

Only with a full list. With the Colosseum alone, the Roma Pass costs more than the ticket, and the bundles of tickets save little or nothing against the same tickets bought one by one. The calculator on this page sets your own list against the passes at today's prices.

Which Rome passes include public transport?

The Roma Pass, and the 72-hour Omnia Card because it has a Roma Pass inside. The 24-hour Omnia only has the hop-on hop-off sightseeing bus, not the metro or city buses.

Do I still need to book times with a pass?

Yes, at the places that run on booked times. At the Colosseum and the Borghese Gallery, Roma Pass holders book a time before they go, and with the Vatican bundles you set your dates at checkout.

Are children charged for Rome's passes?

The Roma Pass has one price for all ages, so it adds little for children: under-18s go in free to Italy's state museums and sites, the Colosseum and the Borghese Gallery among them (the Borghese still charges its €2 booking fee, except for children up to 5), and children under 10 ride Rome's buses and metro free with a paying adult.
