Rome · Turbopass Rome City Pass
Turbopass Rome
The Colosseum and the Vatican are booked for you. Picking the gelato is still your job.
Turbopass Rome is a pass for one to seven days that reserves the Colosseum and the Vatican Museums for you, on the days you ask for when you buy it. It also takes in the Pantheon, Castel Sant'Angelo, St Peter's Basilica with an audio guide, Ostia Antica, a guided walking tour and 48 hours on a hop-on hop-off bus, and you can add public transport as an extra.

Which Rome card pays off for your trip?
Pick how many days you’ve got and the sights you want to see. The calculator adds up the tickets and rides, sets them against the card and tells you right away whether it pays off, and by how much, at today’s prices. No email, no sign-up.

How long, and who’s going?
How Turbopass Rome books the Colosseum and the Vatican
Turbopass Rome books the Colosseum and the Vatican Museums for you, so you don’t deal with their booking sites. As you buy the pass, you give Turbopass your preferred day for each, and it makes both reservations. That’s what sets it apart from the Roma Pass, where you book the Colosseum yourself. You’ll find the Roma Pass and Rome’s other city passes compared on one page.
The reservations themselves come later, closer to your trip:
From buying the pass to your Colosseum ticket
- 1Buy the pass, with your first day and your preferred days for the Colosseum and the Vatican.
- 2Reservations open about six weeks before, and Turbopass makes yours.
- 3The two tickets appear in your digital pass no later than one to two weeks before your visit.
The other big sights work differently. At the Pantheon, Castel Sant’Angelo and St Peter’s Basilica you collect a ticket at a pick-up point nearby, showing the pass’s QR code and photo ID. St Peter’s has free entry, so what you collect there is the visit with an audio guide, and you book its time slot ahead. At the Pantheon and Castel Sant’Angelo, Turbopass recommends booking a time slot too.
On the Tiber boat you pick your departure time when you book it, and Turbopass says to book the guided walking tour and the bike tour in advance.
Is Turbopass Rome worth it?
The Turbopass isn’t in the calculator above, so here’s how its sums work. Turbopass says the pass saves up to 40%, and that depends on how much of the list you use.
The Colosseum, the Vatican Museums, the Pantheon and Castel Sant’Angelo bought separately come to less than a one-day pass. Any saving has to come from the rest: the hop-on hop-off bus, the Tiber boat, Ostia Antica and the tours. Beyond the tickets, what the pass gives you is the two reservations, made for you.
Turbopass Rome without the Vatican: when your dates are full
Even Turbopass can only book slots that exist. If your preferred day has no reservation available, you can buy the pass without the Vatican or without the Colosseum, and you don’t pay for the one you leave out.
You then book a ticket of your own, for whichever of your days suits you. These are the two on their own, the Vatican Museums with fast-track entry and the Colosseum with an audio guide:
There are more ways to see the Colosseum, the arena floor among them, on our page of Colosseum tickets.
What else Turbopass Rome includes, from the Pantheon to the Tiber boat
Besides the Colosseum and the Vatican, the pass covers the Pantheon, which has charged for entry since July 2023, along with Castel Sant’Angelo and St Peter’s.
For getting around and filling the days, there’s a 48-hour ticket for the Big Bus hop-on hop-off, a day on the hop-on hop-off boat along the Tiber, a guided walking tour, a guided bike tour and two hours of bike hire. Out of town there are the ruins of Ostia Antica, and back in town, museums such as the Etruscan Museum at Villa Giulia and Palazzo Barberini.
A few things on the list come with a note. For now the Big Bus doesn’t pick up at its stop no. 3, by the Colosseum, and the Tiber boat stops for the winter, from 2 November to 31 March 2027. The Stadio di Domiziano is on the list too, but Turbopass marks it as currently closed.
In the list below each ticket appears once, and the partners that give you a discount come after it.

Cancelling Turbopass Rome: up to 24 hours before your first day
You can cancel the pass up to 24 hours before your first day, with a cancellation fee. Once your Colosseum and Vatican times are booked, though, Turbopass says those two generally can’t be changed or refunded.
The pass starts on your first day by itself, not at your first visit, and each attraction can be used once, with no refund for the ones you skip. The Colosseum and Vatican reservations are made for the days you gave, so moving the trip later is hard.
Public transport on the Turbopass: an extra you add
Rome’s metro, buses and trams aren’t part of the pass, but you can add them when you buy, at an extra cost. With a one, two or three-day pass you get a 24, 48 or 72-hour ticket, and with four to seven days, a seven-day ticket.
The Big Bus and the Tiber boat that come with the pass are sightseeing rides, not city transport. For the airport, Turbopass sells a SIT shuttle bus as an extra, and the Leonardo Express, the train between Fiumicino airport and Termini station, isn’t on its list for the pass or the transport extra. For the trip into town, here are the train and the SIT bus as single tickets:
Is the Turbopass legit?
Turbopass Rome is sold by Turbopass, a private company, and it isn’t a city card: the city’s own card for visitors is the Roma Pass. Behind the pass are ordinary tickets to each site, the ones Turbopass reserves at the Colosseum and the Vatican and the ones you collect at the other big sights.

Is the Turbopass legit?
Turbopass Rome is sold by Turbopass, a private company, and isn't a city card: the city's own card for visitors is the Roma Pass. Behind the pass are ordinary tickets to each site. Turbopass reserves your Colosseum and Vatican Museums visits, and those tickets appear in your digital pass no later than one to two weeks before your visit. At the Pantheon, St Peter's and Castel Sant'Angelo you collect a ticket at a pick-up point nearby with the pass's QR code and photo ID. You can cancel up to 24 hours before your first day, with a fee.
Is the Turbopass worth it?
It depends on how much of the list you use. Turbopass says the pass saves up to 40%, but the Colosseum, the Vatican Museums, the Pantheon and Castel Sant'Angelo bought separately come to less than a one-day pass. Any saving has to come from the rest: the hop-on hop-off bus, the Tiber boat, Ostia Antica and the tours. Beyond the tickets, what the pass gives you is the Colosseum and Vatican reservations, made for you.
How does the Turbopass book the Colosseum and the Vatican?
As you buy the pass, you give Turbopass your preferred day for the Colosseum and for the Vatican Museums, and it makes both reservations. Reservations can be made about six weeks ahead, and the two tickets appear in your digital pass no later than one to two weeks before your visit. If your preferred day has no reservation available, you can buy the pass without the Vatican or without the Colosseum, and you don't pay for the one you leave out.
Does the Turbopass include public transport?
No. Rome's metro, buses and trams are an extra you can add when you buy: a 24, 48 or 72-hour ticket with the one, two and three-day passes, and a seven-day ticket with passes of four to seven days. For the airport, Turbopass sells a SIT shuttle bus as an extra; the Leonardo Express train isn't on its list for the pass or the transport extra.
Can I cancel the Turbopass?
Yes, up to 24 hours before your first day, with a cancellation fee. Once your Colosseum and Vatican times are booked, though, Turbopass says those two generally can't be changed or refunded, and there's no refund for attractions you don't get to.
Does the Turbopass include the Pantheon?
Yes. The Pantheon has charged for entry since July 2023, and its ticket is on the pass: you collect it at a pick-up point nearby with the pass's QR code and photo ID. Turbopass recommends booking a time slot there.
Is there a Turbopass for children?
Yes. Children and teenagers pay a reduced price, and under-6s don't need a pass. Under-18s already go in free to Italy's state museums and sites, the Colosseum and the Pantheon among them, so for them the pass is about the rest of the list: the Vatican, the bus, the boat and the tours.
