Experience Highlights

When do you ever really finish exploring Rome? If you ask anyone who knows the city this question, they’ll probably say it takes several visits. That’s precisely why you, knowing there’s so much to see, want to make sure you don’t miss the most important sights – the things that truly define what’s known as the Eternal City. Well, this ticket packis for you.

Here’s how it works. You’ll choose a day from our calendar to book an appointment at the Touristation office in Piazza d’Aracoeli. There, staff will help you make bookings for the sites you’ll be visiting: the Roman Forum, Palatine Hill, the Colosseum ( entry is approximately two hours after your booking time) and the Vatican Museums.

In addition to the booked tickets, the pack also includes an audio guide for St Peter’s Basilica (entry is free, but you’ll receive on-site assistance) and a multimedia video on Ancient Rome to kick off the experience and put everything you’re about to see into context.

You can organise your visits however you like; the staff at the office will offer advice depending on the time you have available. Please note that you have 3 days to enjoy everything included, and the selected date is the day the pass begins. You can do it in 2 days or, if you have more time and want to take it at a more leisurely pace, you can make the most of the 3 days. Don’t worry, as entry is always guaranteed within the 3-day validity period of the pass. Included:

  • Entry to the Colosseum, the Roman Forum and the Palatine Hill, emblems of the splendour of the ancient Roman Empire.
  • Skip-the-line entry to the Vatican Museums, home to the world-famous Sistine Chapel. Here, the power of the Church is evident in every corner.
  • Two resources to enhance your experience: an audio guide so you can explore St Peter’s Basilica at your own pace (entry is free) and a multimedia video on ancient Rome, which you’ll watch on the day you choose to visit the Colosseum.

What’s included

  • Skip-the-line tickets for the Vatican Museums with the Sistine Chapel
  • Entrance to Colosseum, Roman Forum and Palatine Hill
  • Multimedia video
  • Audio guide for St. Peter's Basilica

Step by Step

Rome is greatness and it is power. It was already so in the 1st century BC when, arguing that due to its unstoppable expansion the city would last forever, it was given the nickname of Eternal City. Today this grandeur, indeed, is still present in many of its corners, but especially in two areas: that of ancient Rome and that of the Vatican. These two areas are covered in this pack.

On the one hand, there is Ancient Rome: the Colosseum, the Roman Forum and the Palatine Hill (the hill from which the city was founded) are its greatest exponents. With the ticket included in this pack you will be able to visit these three places. Can you imagine how the spectators of the gladiator fights in the Colosseum or the merchants who did business in the Forum would have felt?

Then there's the Vatican, that microcosm that reminds you (in case you've forgotten) of the immense power that the Catholic Church still wields today. The package includes skip-the-line tickets to the Vatican Museums and an audio guide to St. Peter's Basilica (it's very close to the Museums and admission is free). The impressive heritage of the museums goes far beyond the Sistine Chapel so reserve enough time for masterpieces such as the sculpture of Laocoön and his sons or the paintings of Raphael or Caravaggio.

And yes, we know that all this is a lot to explore, but don't worry because you have 3 days to do it unhurriedly and at your own pace. We'll tell you how it works and give you an example of how you could organise the experience to get the most out of it.

Choose a day on the calendar on our website, which will be your appointment to visit the organiser's office and decide what you are going to see that day and the two following days. With the help of an assistant, you will be able to select the dates and make reservations for the sites that have scheduled tickets: the Roman Forum, the Palatine Hill, the Colosseum and the Vatican Museums. Our recommendation is that you dedicate one day to visit the first three sites and another day to the Vatican. Here is an example:

  • Day 1: You go to the office, make your reservations and the experience begins. You watch the 25-minute multimedia video to get you started. Afterwards, an assistant will accompany you to the Roman Forum and the Palatine Hill for you to visit them on your own for about 2 hours. Here comes the highlight of the day, the Colosseum. You will be able to enjoy this icon for as long as you like and walk through it at your own pace (this day will be the same day you choose on the calendar to make your reservations).
  • Day 2: The Vatican Museums have a lot to offer. Beyond the Sistine Chapel, there are works that you will want to see up close. Take the time to stroll through its immense corridors and discover all that its walls have to offer. While you're in the Vatican, you can take the opportunity to enter St. Peter's Basilica (admission is free) and learn all the details of this masterpiece thanks to the audio guide included in the package.
  • Day 3: if you have enough energy left for the first two days or you have little time to enjoy the experience, you can concentrate everything in two days, but if you have margin, we recommend you to use this third day to visit another must-see attraction in Rome: the Pantheon (entrance not included). It is an architectural jewel that has inspired generations. With its impressive dome and elegant façade, this ancient temple is a testament to Roman ingenuity. Explore its impressive interiors and admire the light filtering through its oculus.
