We were 4 days in Rome and had the 3-day pass. Whether the pass is worth it really depends on what you want and how you want to do everything. Most of it can and should be done on foot. You will be overwhelmed. The pass is only partially worth it, but can be practical. Anyway soon back to Rome. But then in the spring.
Everything worked very well. No queuing and just go past the snake. The use of local transport is a fine thing by bus and train.
The main criterion for deciding on the Rome City Pass was the possibility to go directly to the main attractions at the queues. This works perfectly and is safe to recommend. About 600m queue at the Vatican Museum, about 200 m at the Colosseum and about ca, 50 m at the Castel Sant'Angelo were an extreme time saver. Since we did not visit any other museums besides the main attractions, the 6-day pass with approx. € 157 would not have been financially profitable for us. Also, it is not easy to understand in the description, which entrance fees are counted against the main attractions and which, moreover, are always free. Or how combined attractions such as the Via Appia plus Caracalla terms can be handled. But as I said, the ability to get around really long queues weighs it up.
Many cheap nice cafes and restaurants in "a little further distance" to sights
Whether we saved up in the end, I can not say. In any case, it has simplified the organization on the ground. Even though there are many offers in Rome, I would use a passport again. What a pity, would like to upload a photo but the site is limited. Not even standard smartphone (iPhone 6) size is accepted.
The ideal companion for Rome. We had the 6 day pass. You do not have to worry about almost anything anymore. There is only 1 star deduction, as you have to make the inclusive visits in the respective three days. That means I can not do the 4 incl. Visits eg in the first 3 days, because you can only do 2 per 3 day pass. This is a pity and unfortunately not clear before. We have lost sightseeing.
The 6-day pass consists of two 3-day passes and is recommended for people who really enjoy a lot during this time and also travel a lot by public transport. The entry fees for 4 highlights are included in the 6-day pass, as well as the Vatican with preferred entry and a full day with the Hop on-Hop off bus. If you want to visit even more "highlights" - you have to pay admission (but you get discount) - I did not realize that, so a star deduction In addition, you have free admission to many other attractions - all listed in the pass very satisfied with the pass, if this is financially worth - you would have to calculate exactly.
The Rome City Pass is ideal. One looks straightforwardly to the most important museums, has no queuing (could go in the holiday season up to 3 hours). And still with the public transport that is included in this pass. Travel is possible to Ostia. Only with my son (under 18) we had to Ostia and back always a station overseer with presentation of his cards must call, since with him the card at vending machines did not work. What a little annoying, you need for the various companies and means of transport several cards. Maybe that's possible with only one at some point.
Has worked well. Street vendors, however, still want to offer their services. Absolutely unnecessary, so do not let unsettled .LG
The pass was a great addition to our trip! Because of the location to pick it up, being next to the Vatican, I would recommend doing the Vatican museum tour on your first day. We didn't know this, and so we had to change our plans. The pass was easy to use, and worked everywhere we went with no issues. Would definitely purchase again!
If you stay only three days in Rome, you will not have enough time to see the sights from outside, maybe even to see on foot and also to visit museums extensively. One is simply only then killed in the evening. Very helpful are the passes in the Vatican and Coliseum, since the long queuing is not necessary here. You just go to the places for groups and can go directly to the place of interest. Please be at the Vatican at least half an hour before the booked time at the security - before you will be sent back!
This was my fourth stay in Rome, this time with my wife and son. We had 5 days and, since city trips are exhausting anyway, I hoped to be able to avoid some unnecessary stress through the 6-day City Pass. The bill was absolutely up! Okay, the City Pass is not necessarily a bargain, considering that you do not visit many of the included side attractions anyway, and that there is no admission fee for kids and teenagers at most public places of interest. But keep in mind that Rome is overcrowded almost every season, almost everywhere! The subway resembles a sardine can, for tickets to the Haptattraktionen you have to calculate very long waiting times and in many places there are also queues before security checks. It is a welcome pleasure not to have to worry about bus, tram or metro tickets, if you can visit the Vatican Museums or the Colosseum without queuing and if all the necessary tickets are already paid before the holiday. And by the way: The city tour was not as bad as many write. The buses drove every 20 minutes. The audio guide was easy to understand and the bus stopped in many sensibly chosen places. Of course you can also buy everything individually and book in advance. Then it will be a bit cheaper - but not nearly as stress free!
We very much enjoyed our visit to the Vatican Museum and the Sistine Chapel, above all we were able to pass by the long lines. The Castel Sant'Angelo is definitely worth a visit and was included in the turbo pass. Thank you
Especially the passing on the queues was really great!
Good choice to help you skip the queue at the bigger more touristy sites in Rome. One note of warning though when you go on your hop on hop off tour make sure you check to see if the company takes your card and if the actually allow you to hop on hop off... we had a crap experience... plus we walked everywhere so did not use Underground transport or busses.
The Rome City Pass was a good investment for me and my friend because we saved a lot of time on the preferred inlets. However, a little planning is required in the 6-day variant, as you get 2 times the 3-day pass, which are valid from the first use and certain attractions (of course, the known) only a certain number per pass are free. Everything is described in a very clear booklet, which made everything work great here.
We were able to use the City Pass in Rome very well. Everything worked very well. Most of the attractions had priority admission, so you did not have to wait.
If you do not feel like standing in the belly in the giant snakes - especially the Colosseum or the Vatican City - you will have a lot of fun with the pass. With the pass you get entrance to the museums and sights. Use of public transport is also included. We did not regret it. Now the shadow - if you travel with children or young people, you get a separate "passport", with which you must first get a free ticket. In the Colosseum, we had to stand a little queue for it; For the Capitol Museum even pay a normal price, for the parents, the museum was included. It's just annoying and makes unnecessary stress. Ask in advance for the employee who will issue you the passports (English only). Take a walk in the evening through the city - you will discover Rome differently. St. Peter's Square is empty after 9pm - you will not believe that if you were there before ...
You can hire the others, at least most of the time. The pass saves a lot of time. The Hop on-Hop off tour did not work so well. The stops are not always easy to find, the explanations in bus very poor. Still recommended.
Highly recommended
