What’s NOT Included

⚠️ The Rome TurboPass does not include public transport (ATAC metro, buses, and trams). This is one of the main differences compared to the Rome Pass 🔗 and the Omnia Card 🔗. TurboPass users need to purchase public transport tickets separately or rely on the included tourist bus and walking for transfers.

Bookings and Access

Optional high-demand attractions, such as the Vatican Museums and the Colosseum, are automatically booked for the earliest available time slot during the pass validity. This ensures access even during peak season, avoiding long lines and availability issues. Each included attraction can be visited only once.

Where to Buy the Rome TurboPass

The Rome TurboPass can only be purchased online. The most direct way to buy it is via:

• Official TurboPass Rome site
• Partner platforms such as GetYourGuide ✅

Who Should Buy It

The Rome TurboPass is especially suitable for first-time visitors to Rome who want an organized, simple, and content-rich solution, with many attractions already included and some guided experiences.

It is less convenient for those who rely heavily on public transport or want to plan a highly customized itinerary, in which cases solutions like the Rome Pass or the Go City Explorer Pass 🔗 are often more suitable.
