Leadership Vatican Museum had to be paid extra! € 20,00 per person! There was no info in advance!
The Rome City Pass is basically a great idea. You can quickly pass the major attractions and can use all public transport for free. However, when you have a child with you, not everything is taken for granted. Children do not receive a full ticket. You still have to hire a counter and get a free kids ticket. In the public transport, the pass must always be pulled through. The adults could have gone in for free in the Capitoline Museums, but we would have had to pay € 13 for the child. Our understanding was limited. After all, you also pay for the children's pass. Why is there a distinction between adults and children? It should be pointed out, at least when buying, that children can not go anywhere for free!
Great idea-the passport! Unfortunately the Vatican visit was scheduled for one day after my departure .. I will still buy the Turbopass again ..
In the Sistine Chapel one should not without reservation - it worked well there are also Rome tickets with St. Peter's Basilica without queuing - we were unfortunately 2 hours in the rain. However, after every Chinese must have been 1x in life id Sistine Chapel, the store will remain well visited for the next few years.
Unfortunately, we can not join the broad praise of other passport users. Despite our efforts, we did not manage to take full advantage of the 3-day pass. In itself we always use passes for city tours and like to visit museums and sights but in Rome the paths are wide, the museums are often very large and therefore the visit is time-consuming, so that we stay 4 nights with the 3-day pass only the Castel Sant'Angelo, the Colosseum, the Roman Forum, the Villa Borghese (reduced price only) and the Vatican with St. Peter's Basilica. We were also very close to the Spanish Steps, the 4-Fountain, the Piazza del Popolo, the Pantheon, the National Monument V.Emmanuele and the Trevi Fountain. You have to have seen that too. But you do not need the passport for them and they also cost time. The passport was reasonably financially worthwhile only because we were able to make the city tour with the hop-on hop-off bus twice by mistake of the controller. One big advantage of the pass but it: The bypassing the endlessly long lines at the box office. That was very useful to us at the Castel Sant'Angelo, at the Roman Forum and at the Vatican and that is also worth something. However, you still have to have your luggage scanned everywhere as in the airport and it also costs a lot of time. Conclusion: The pass would have to be cheaper.
The Hop On Hop Off Tour was a bit disappointing, little information
The description of the use of the passport is not easy to understand and confusing. Visiting the sights without long queuing is very good and also the easy use of public transport is very convenient as the ticket purchase is not applicable for the time in which the pass is valid. Whether it really is a cost savings I did not recalculate exactly but it did not feel like that when I have the ticket prices overrun times.
In itself he was great, but from the descriptions we had previously understood that more than 2 attractions are included
The Rome City Pass was great. Without queuing we got through the same everywhere. Which is quite recommendable. The Hop on Hop provider was not good. Too few buses, stops hard to find. We could have saved ourselves. Only used it once. Only drove with the public.
You bypass the queues with the City Pass, but which museums are inclusive and which are only discounted is not easy to see through. The use of public transport with the pass is convenient, but often not necessary, as many attractions are within walking distance. Many discounts offered by the pass are not very attractive, as the passport should help to fill the house!
Rome is fantastic! Having Rome City Pass helped us to have a better trip with transportation and museum passes. Long lines in Colosseum and Vaticano were avoided. Then, it is awesome when you have a tight schedule and get less tired at the end. However, with six days pass, have to choose two main attractions so visit for every three days in the long list could be reviewed. In Paris, for example, we can visit as many you want to. Some of the good attractions of the city are not included.
Rome end of November absolutely recommendable. Manageable crowds and good temperatures to explore the winding city of Rome on foot. Now to the Rome City Pass, on the whole, very useful and almost everywhere welcome. What has scared me something that was almost 170 € for the six days and that although I only 5 used. But there is not a five-day ticket. I was really looking forward to this hop-on hop-off bus ride through Rome. Only now it gets annoying. In my 5 days stay in Rome. On which I have come a lot through the city and have seen and experienced a lot, I have not seen a single so much advertised blue bus for the hop-on hop-off ride, red green yellow buses without end only just no blue! And now I wonder if I should be ripped off by their offer, because I could not take advantage of the offer for lack of blue buses just. Although I paid it dearly. In hindsight, but I have to say that these buses are not used unrestricted, who is reasonably on foot, the Spatial close to each other luegenden sights on foot explore what also has the charm that you also something in the beautiful side streets of the old town. Condition is however good footwear.
The Turbopass offers a lot, but in some museums and other attractions entrance fees have to bepaid paid .Thepublic transport in Rome is overloaded, so the use is hardly recommended.
You can also buy the components individually. Then you can also raussuchen the HopOn HopOf company itself. The longest time is waiting for the cooperation partner of Turbopass. And you can easily book the Vatican trip online yourself. Unfortunately, it was not worth it for us.
The Rome City Pass worked very well with the Vatican Museums, Castel Sant'Angelo and the Coliseum. At the Palatinum main entrance he was useless, because no extra row, but the queue was about 500m left of the main entrance extremely short (tip!). For the long queue at St. Peter's Basilica, you would have to buy an extra skip-the-line ticket, so be it early or late in the afternoon! At the metro station, only one out of 3 cards worked when scanning! Was stressful! Bus was fine if he came in a timely manner. The hop-on-hop-off bus worked well, you get at least a small overview.
We had the 3-day pass and were in Rome at the end of October. The pass was worth it for us in two ways: it saved a lot of time by allowing us to walk past the long entrance queues and we were able to travel for free on the metro and all other public transport, which we used well. Financially, he was not worth it for us. The museums, which are offered in addition to the main attractions with discount in the pass, were mostly completely unknown to us and we had in 3 days Rome no time to explore unknown museums. Since we visited the Caracalla-Thermen in front of the Roman Forum, we did not use the pass there, in order not to let our free entrance into the forum lapse. This regulation is unfortunate. We had particularly bad experiences with the Hop on-Hop off bus. We got no space above or without Fensterbeklebung, the headphone technology worked only at a seat. The change to another company would be very advisable here.
In fact, the Rome City Pass was beneficial to the Coliseum and the Vatican Museums, avoiding the tedious and time-consuming queuing. If, however, we do not visit as many as possible, but some museums very extensively over several hours, he does not really pay. We spent a whole day of almost 7 hours for the Capitoline Museum and the Museum di Roma, anyway, for the Vatican Museums anyway, we had not considered that before. We were six days in Rome, which were accordingly € 159.90 per person, only with the tickets and the weekly ticket of the ATAC we could have saved more than 60 €. But for those who only stay in the museums (or other places) for 2 hours each time and go somewhere else in the afternoon and spend another 1-2 hours, the Roma City Pass is great for them. And even those who do not like to do a lot of walking, it is also good for them to get on any bus.
The passport and all extensions have been well worth it and it is definitely recommended for any visit to Rome, although not cheap, so you still have the opportunity (where possible) to get ahead quickly without having to queue. Valuable is also the possibility to drive unlimited and without any worries with all means of transport. It's worth it.
The Rom City Pass alone we could not buy, only in connection with the city tour - and that was rather nothing. The drop-on-drop-off principle would have worked well if we had not been tied to the blue buses. They barely drove, unlike almost all other bus colors. The passers-by to those who did not have a Roma City Pass did not work as well. Overall, too expensive, the overall package.
Basically, the Roma City Pass is not bad, but you can get almost the same volume more favorable with the Roma Pass. The extra is essentially only the city tour. I had the pass for 6 days and had a lot of sightseeing. However, I rarely used the public transport. So the pass was perhaps not quite worth it.
