The first solution to save time and money during your 3-day trip to Rome is to obtain the “Rome Tourist Card”, also called “Rome City Pass”. It's really convenient: you'll avoid queues and have priority entrances to the city's most famous tourist attractions. Another advantage: the Rome Tourist Card is 100% digital. You won't have to go anywhere to collect your tickets, you will receive them immediately via email. This pass includes the following:

• St. Peter's Basilica: entrance + audio guide (2nd day)
• Vatican Museums and Sistine Chapel (optional – Day 2 of this itinerary)

2. Omnia Card

Another way to visit Rome in 3 days and get quick access to the best places to visit in this city is to purchase the Omnia Card, also called the “Rome and Vatican Pass”.

It works similar to the Rome Tourist Card I talked about just before, but it is even more complete! The Omnia card is valid for 3 consecutive days once activated, so it will be perfect for your 3 days in Rome.

You will need to book your Omnia Card online and then exchange the confirmation voucher (received via email) for the Omnia Card once you arrive in Rome. The Omnia Card includes the following:

• Skip-the-line entry to the Vatican Museums and Sistine Chapel
• Skip-the-line ticket to St. Peter's Basilica + audio guide
• Visit to San Pietro Prison + audio guide
• Lateran Basilica and Cloisters: entrance + audio guide
• Free tickets for 2 tourist attractions from the following list:
  • Colosseum
  • Palatine and Roman Forum
  • Castel Sant'Angelo
  • Borghese Gallery Capitoline Museums
  • Free access to public transport during your stay in Rome – Perfect for getting around quickly if you don't want to do everything on foot
• Discounts for museums and activities
• Hop-On Hop-Off bus ticket (tourist bus)
• A map of Rome

The choice between the 2 cards depends on whether you want to use public transport or not and what you want to visit:

• If you do not wish to visit the entire Vatican and do not wish to use public transport, you should opt for the Rome Tourist Card, as it offers the best value for money in your case.
• If you want to visit as many places as possible in Rome and the Vatican during your 3 days, the Omnia Card is undoubtedly the best choice.

It is simply the most complete Card to visit Rome in 72 hours.

The cost of the Omnia Card is:

1. 24h: € 69 adults and € 49 reduced
2. 72h: € 149 adults and € 69 reduced
