Which tourist pass for Rome to choose?

In Rome, tourist passes are the ideal solution to reduce your budget visits and benefit from skip-the-line access. Indeed, between the Colosseum, the Vativan or the Villa Borghese, the prices of individual tickets can go from simple to double!

There are 3 tourist passes for Rome:

the Omnia Card (3 days): the most complete pass, which includes the Roma Pass + full and skip-the-line access to all the sites of the Vatican and many other tourist sites.
the Rome tourist card: 100% dematerialized, it is a good alternative to the Omnia Card.
the Roma Pass (72h or 48h): not the most interesting because it does not include the Vatican.

For passes with a validity period, their activation is not linked to the date of purchase but to their first use in a tourist site or a first trip on the city's public transport network.

If you activate your pass in the middle of the day or evening, the whole day will be charged!

Omnia Card

The Omnia Card is the most complete pass, particularly interesting if you want to visit the Vatican City.

It offers a validity period of 3 days the same advantages as the Roma Pass:

skip-the-line access to the Colosseum, the Roman Forum and the Palatine Hill
unlimited access to the Italian capital's public transport network (metro, bus and tram)

But also:

Skip-the-line tickets for the Vatican Museum and the Sistine Chapel
Without skip-the-line access, expect a 2 to 3 hour wait in high season!

Without skip-the-line access, wait around 1 hour in high season!
an audio guide for St. Peter's Basilica
unlimited access to Hop-on Hop-off buses during the 3 days of validity of the card
