  • Only activate the Roma Pass when you are ready to visit the city intensively, as time is limited.

Reservations required

Although the Roma Pass offers free or discounted entry to many sights in Rome, additional reservations are required for some attractions.

This applies in particular to the Colosseum, the Galleria Borghese and the Mausoleo di Augusto, for which advance booking is required. For the Colosseum, reservations can be made at least one month in advance on the official website, while other platforms must be used for the Galleria Borghese and the Mausoleo di Augusto.

For Castel Sant'Angelo, Palazzo Valentini and Galleria Spada, reservations are strongly recommended but not obligatory. These reservations can be made either online for a small fee or free of charge by e-mail.

To avoid disappointment, visitors should make their reservations as early as possible, especially in high season. The exact reservation procedures and deadlines may vary from attraction to attraction, so it is advisable to check the current conditions before visiting.

We recommend consulting the official website. All information on the required reservations is shared there in the FAQ section: FAQ RomaPass.it
