The Best Rome Tourist Cards

We compare the main cards for Rome so you can find the one that fits your trip and budget. The Rome Tourist Card is the leanest package. The other cards include more, but they also cost more or need more planning on your part.

Which card for whom?

Rome Tourist Card: For travellers who want the three big names secured and otherwise prefer to explore on their own.
Rome City Pass: For several full sightseeing days when you want to take in as much as possible.
Rome Essentials Pass: For a first trip to Rome of two to four days with a fixed programme.
Roma Pass (72 hours): For anyone who travels a lot by bus and metro and handles their own reservations.
Omnia Card: For three days with the Vatican, bus and public transport in one package, if collecting the card in Rome is not a problem.
Rome Explorer Pass: For longer stays where you pick a few attractions deliberately.
Vatican City Pass: For a day around the Vatican with the museums and St Peter’s Basilica.
Colosseum & Vatican Museums: For travellers who need only the Colosseum and the Vatican.
