Go City: Rome Explorer Pass

The Rome Explorer Pass lets you choose your own itinerary from more than 30 attractions, tours and experiences across the city, rather than locking you into a fixed route. Pick anywhere from 2 to 7 activities and use them over a 30-day window, so you can spread your sightseeing out instead of cramming it into a single day. The list ranges from major landmarks like the Colosseum, Roman Forum and Palatine Hill, and the Vatican Museums and Sistine Chapel, to hands-on experiences like a pizza cooking class or a bike ride among ancient ruins.

What makes this pass useful is the mix of heavyweight sights and smaller experiences you might not book on their own. Alongside the Colosseum and Vatican Museums, you can add Castel Sant'Angelo, the Pantheon, a Big Bus hop-on hop-off tour, a catacombs tour with transfer, or a panoramic view from the Altar of the Fatherland. Everything runs through the Go City app on your phone, so there's no need to print or carry individual tickets for each stop.

On your first day, you'll visit a Go City Concierge Service in Rome to collect your Colosseum and Vatican Museums tickets, since both need to be booked at least three weeks ahead. The concierge team also helps you set up reservations for the rest of your chosen attractions, some of which need booking just 24 hours in advance.

Your first stop is one of the Go City Concierge Services in Rome, where you'll collect your Colosseum and Vatican Museums tickets and get help booking the rest of your chosen attractions. From there, the pass works on your own schedule: use the Go City app to check which activities need advance reservations and which you can simply turn up to, like the Big Bus hop-on hop-off tour or Cinecittà World.

Over the following days, you can move between major sites like the Roman Forum and Palatine Hill, the Pantheon, or Castel Sant'Angelo, and mix in lighter experiences such as a pasta or pizza cooking class, a catacombs tour with transfer, or a bike ride past ancient ruins. With 30 days of validity, there's no pressure to see everything at once. You can space out landmark visits, food experiences and guided tours across your whole stay in Rome.
