Overall rating

4.1 / 5

The pass is easy to pick up at various points. Booking excursions and others goes smoothly and is well described in terms of content. With the pass you have great discounts and free travel with public transport. In Rome you can't take the train for free. You check in once (yellow box in the bus/metro) and then you don't have to do anything after that.

Great help if you're planning to go visit many places. With the Roma pass, we were able to get certain discounts when visiting places that accepted it, and free entrances from the listed attractions. We used public transportation quite often on our trip, always on time and efficient. Great value for money.

Easy and simple. Wandered around Rome a lot. Used passports for the important places. Can definitely be recommended.

Profitable only if you want to make the 48 or 72 hours profitable by chaining tourist visits. What we have done.

Practical and profitable from 2 visits, the very practical line cutter
