Rome · Omnia Card 24h
Omnia Card Rome
The Sistine Chapel at your booked hour, and a bus for when your feet give up.
The Omnia Card gets you into the Vatican Museums and the Sistine Chapel at a time you book as you buy, with a hop-on hop-off bus to take you round the rest of Rome. The 24-hour card also includes the Mamertine Prison and the basilica of St John Lateran, each with an audio guide, and audio guides for four walks. The 72-hour card adds a Roma Pass for adults: 72 hours on the metro, buses and trams, and two included entries at sites such as the Colosseum and the Borghese Gallery. A third version, the Omnia Smart, has the Colosseum instead of the bus.

How long, and who’s going?
Omnia Card prices: 24 hours, 72 hours or Smart
The Omnia Card comes in three versions, all from the Opera Romana Pellegrinaggi, the Rome diocese’s pilgrimage office, and all with the Vatican Museums. The 24-hour card costs €70, or €50 for children aged 6 to 17, and adds a day on the hop-on hop-off bus, the Mamertine Prison and St John Lateran.
The 72-hour card costs €149, or €69 for children aged 6 to 17. It has the same sights and the bus, plus a 72-hour Roma Pass, Rome’s city card, with the metro and two included entries. It comes with a deadline: the 72-hour card must be used by 31 December 2026, so the Vatican, the bus and the Roma Pass all have to fit before then.
The third, the Omnia Smart, at €99, trades the bus for the Colosseum and gives you 12 months to use it.

Vatican Museums, the bus and audio guides on the Omnia Card
The big ticket on the card is the Vatican Museums with the Sistine Chapel, where you go in with priority entry at the time you booked.
Once you’re out, the bus takes over. The card covers the Open Bus Vatican & Rome and the City Sightseeing hop-on hop-off routes, so you can ride between sights and get off where you like. Rome’s metro and city buses aren’t part of the 24-hour card. The Tiqets listing says “free Rome transport for 24 hours”, and it means this sightseeing bus. For now it doesn’t stop at the Colosseum, as that stop is suspended until further notice.
Two more sights come with the card, each with its own audio guide: the Mamertine Prison, and the basilica of St John Lateran with its cloister. The cloister closes on Sundays and public holidays, which matters if your day falls on one. You also get audio guides for four walks you do on your own, among them the Jewish Quarter and Trastevere.
72-hour Omnia Card: what the Roma Pass adds
Besides the Vatican, the bus, the Mamertine Prison and St John Lateran, the 72-hour card has a fuller set of walking audio guides and the official audio guide for St Peter’s Basilica, which is free to enter for everyone. The bigger addition is the Roma Pass inside it, with 72 hours on Rome’s metro, buses and trams.
The Roma Pass also gives you two included entries at the sites on its list, such as the Colosseum or the Borghese Gallery, and the reduced ticket at the others. The Roma Pass page lists every site, with what its ticket costs on its own.
It works like any Roma Pass. You book the Colosseum yourself, for the standard visit without the arena floor or the tunnels beneath it, which come with other Colosseum tickets, and the Borghese Gallery takes a booking of its own. The Omnia and the Roma Pass each last 72 hours but can start at different times, so the bus and the metro don’t have to run out on the same day.
Omnia Card vs Roma Pass: what each one covers
The Roma Pass has the Colosseum and the metro and leaves out the Vatican. The Omnia cards start from the Vatican, and each adds something different.

from €149
Buy pass→
The Omnia Smart has the Vatican Museums and the Colosseum, with the Colosseum ticket collected at the Mamertine Prison, but no transport and no bus.
If your list is the Colosseum, the Borghese Gallery and a few days on the metro, the Roma Pass covers it, and the Vatican is a ticket on the side. If the Vatican is the big one and a day by bus between sights sounds good, the 24-hour Omnia does that. With no bus in your plans, the Vatican Museums ticket on its own costs less than any Omnia card.
For the Vatican and the Colosseum without the bus, the Omnia Smart puts both on one card. Set against a 72-hour Roma Pass with a separate Vatican ticket, the 72-hour Omnia adds the bus, the Mamertine Prison, St John Lateran and the audio guides, so it pays off if you’ll use them.
Children change the sums. The Roma Pass has one price for every age, and the one inside the 72-hour Omnia is for adults only. They lose little without it: under-18s go into Italy’s state museums free of charge, and children under 10 ride Rome’s transport free with a paying adult.
If you’re also weighing up Rome’s other passes, from the Rome Tourist Card to the Turbopass, each one has its section on our page about the Roma Pass and Rome’s other city passes.
How the Omnia Card works: the Vatican booking and the bus
This is the 24-hour card bought on Tiqets, from checkout to your first bus ride.
Your Omnia Card, step by step
- 1Pick your Vatican Museums time as you buy: the booking comes with the card.
- 2In the 24 hours before that time, the official Vatican voucher arrives by email; look in your spam folder too. Show that voucher at the entrance, because the QR code from your booking isn't enough.
- 3Collect your bus ticket at one of the pilgrimage office's desks, which Tiqets lists at Piazza Pio XII 9 by St Peter's Square and at St John Lateran, open Monday to Saturday from 9am to 4pm. They're closed on Sundays and public holidays, so if your day falls on one, read your voucher before you count on the bus.
- 4Your 24 hours start the first time you use the card, and walking into one of its sites counts as using it.
- 5On the bus, keep the paper receipt you're given on your first ride.
Colosseum and the Omnia Card: a separate ticket or the Omnia Smart
For the Colosseum on the 24-hour card, the simplest add-on is the Colosseum ticket with an audio guide, €25, which also covers the Roman Forum and the Palatine Hill.
The Omnia Smart has the Colosseum, the Forum and the Palatine, along with the Vatican Museums and the Mamertine Prison. It has no bus, and in place of the basilica of St John Lateran it has the Lateran Palace, plus five walking audio guides and an audio guide for St Peter’s. Its Colosseum ticket is collected at the Mamertine Prison with your ID, so you book the prison first and the Colosseum about an hour later.

Frequently asked questions
How much does the Omnia Card cost?
The 24-hour Omnia Card is €70 for adults and €50 for children aged 6 to 17, and the Omnia Smart is €99. The 72-hour card, with a Roma Pass inside, is €149 for adults and €69 for children aged 6 to 17, and it has to be used by 31 December 2026.
Does the Omnia Card include the Colosseum?
Of the 24-hour and 72-hour cards, only the 72-hour does, through the Roma Pass inside it. The Colosseum is one of the sites for its two included entries, you book your time yourself, and you get the standard visit, without the arena floor or the tunnels beneath it. The separate Omnia Smart also includes the Colosseum, the Roman Forum and the Palatine Hill, with the Colosseum ticket collected at the Mamertine Prison.
Does the Omnia Card include public transport?
Only the 72-hour card does, through its Roma Pass: 72 hours on Rome's metro, buses and trams, for adults only. The 24-hour card's bus is the hop-on hop-off sightseeing bus, not the metro or the city buses, and the Omnia Smart has no transport.
Where do I collect the Omnia Card?
On the 24-hour card bought on Tiqets, the Vatican part comes by email: the official voucher arrives in the 24 hours before your booked time, and you show it at the entrance. Tiqets says the bus ticket is collected at one of the pilgrimage office's desks, at Piazza Pio XII 9 by St Peter's Square or at St John Lateran, open Monday to Saturday from 9am to 4pm and closed on Sundays and public holidays.
Is there an Omnia Card for children?
Yes, children aged 6 to 17 pay a lower price: €50 for the 24-hour card. On the 72-hour card, a child's card comes without the Roma Pass, which is for adults only. They lose little by it, since under-18s go into Italy's state museums free of charge and children under 10 ride Rome's buses and metro free with a paying adult.
When does the Omnia Card expire?
The 24-hour card runs for 24 hours from the first time you use it, and walking into one of its sites counts. On the 72-hour card, the Omnia and its Roma Pass each last 72 hours and can start at different times, and the whole card has to be used by 31 December 2026. The Omnia Smart gives you 12 months.
Can I cancel the Omnia Card?
No. The 24-hour Omnia Card can't be refunded or moved to another date once you've bought it. For the Omnia Smart and the 72-hour card, read the conditions before you book.
