Your visit includes skip-the-line or fast-track entry, so you spend less time waiting and more time soaking up centuries of genius.

Should You Buy the Rome Tourist Card?

When It’s Best

  • You want to see the “big 4”: Colosseum, Vatican Museums, Sistine Chapel, St. Peter’s Basilica.
  • You’re visiting in the busy summer. You want to avoid waiting in long lines to buy tickets individually, which can get very long.
  • You plan at last minute. This is the only way to gain access to the different places.
  • You prefer all tickets in one place.
  • You visit with groups/families and want guaranteed entry times for everyone.

When It’s Not

  • Your trip is very short (1-2 days) and only one or two attractions are on your “must visit” list.
  • You prefer going off-beat / non-touristy places not included in the card.
  • You don’t mind planning each ticket separately, and can get good deals.
  • Some attractions you want are already sold out or can’t be reserved via the card.
  • You are very budget-sensitive and want to minimize upfront expense.

If this fits your trip, book your Rome Tourist Card before slots sell out.
