Visiting Rome, the “Eternal City,” is an unforgettable experience. From ancient ruins to world-class museums and vibrant street life, there’s no shortage of things to see and do. However, navigating Rome’s attractions can quickly become overwhelming — both for your schedule and your wallet. That’s where the Rome Pass comes in.

Whether you’re in Rome for a weekend or a week, this pass can make your sightseeing smoother, cheaper, and far more enjoyable.
The Rome Pass, officially known as the Roma Pass, is the city’s official tourist card designed to make sightseeing in Rome easier and more affordable. It offers free or discounted entry to major attractions and unlimited access to public transportation, helping visitors enjoy more of the Eternal City without worrying about individual ticket costs.
There are two versions available:

Get your pass online or from tourist info points and participating museums.
Activate the Pass
The Rome Pass activates automatically when first used — either at a museum or on public transport.

The Roma Pass is worth it if you plan to:
Visit 2 or more paid attractions within 48–72 hours
Use public transport frequently
Want to skip ticket lines and save time
Prefer the convenience of a single pass instead of multiple tickets
If your visit is slower-paced or you’re focusing on free sites like the Pantheon, Trevi Fountain, or St. Peter’s Basilica, the savings may be smaller.
Prices may vary slightly, but as of 2025:
48-hour pass: around €33
72-hour pass: around €53
(Always check the official Roma Pass website for the latest prices and updates.)
Plan your route before activating the pass to maximize your time.
Book entry times early for major attractions.
Use your free entries strategically — for example, choose the Colosseum or Capitoline Museums for the highest value.
Keep a photo of your card number in case it’s lost.
You can buy the Rome Pass:
Online at the official Roma Pass site
At Tourist Information Points (Termini Station, Fiumicino Airport, Via dei Fori Imperiali)
Through authorized travel agencies and hotels
If your trip to Rome includes its must-see landmarks — from the Colosseum to Castel Sant’Angelo — and you’re planning to use public transport, the Roma Pass can be a fantastic investment.
It combines cost savings, convenience, and flexibility, allowing you to enjoy the Eternal City like a local — without wasting time in ticket lines.
So before your next Roman adventure, consider picking up the Roma Pass — your key to exploring Rome smarter.
