Roma Pass ticket office at Fiumicino Airport

[traveler111]

Plan to be in Rome several days. Does anyone know how far the Roma Pass ticket office is from customs area? :)

I don't, but I can tell you that you can buy from from almost any tobacconist's shop--I don't think you can use it for transport to town from the airport anyway, so you really don't need it until you are ready to set out and tour, at which point they are everywhere.

 

Just as an FYI, we bought it Rome this year, stayed for 5 days, but ultimately did not think it even paid for itself. We used our two admissions to Trajan's Market and the Villa Borghese, but those would have been less expensive to buy individually. So do the math before you buy!

So do the math before you buy!

 

Agree. At 20 euros (two years ago) it was a better value and paid for itself for the Colosseum and Borghese Gallery admissions, along with metro & bus use. What was really nice was the convenience of getting into the Colosseum with it (not having to stand in line there for tickets, or go to the Palatine ticket booth), and not having to bother with tickets for the buses & metro. Just need to be careful when you activate it if you are there for more than 3 days as it expires at midnight on the 3rd day ...i.e. it's best to activate it in the a.m. to get 3 full days from it.

 

We bought ours at the TI office at Piazza Navona.

I also bought the ticket at the office near Piazza Navona. The one in the airport is not open early in the morning so if your plane gets in before 9AM I don't think you can use it.

You can also get the Roma pass at Termini.

Thanks for the info. Will not buy at airport. :)

You can buy it on the way to the train station at Terminal 3:

 

 

It's a great value if you want to see the Colloseum:

 

 

We were today in Ostia Antica:

 

6.50 EUR admission fee

tomorrow at Collosseum 12.00 EUR for all sites (which are included in the pass)

plus 3 days public transport in Rome 11.00 EUR

 

 

29.50 EUR if we buy single tickets instead of 25.00 EUR for the Rome Pass...

 

Ciao from Rome, acutally it was 27°C...

This morning at Roma Termini...

 

 

We were glad that we collected our pass already at the airport where there was no queue...

 

What you should know if you visit the Collosseum:

 

 

The right queue was for non-ticket holders (Waiting time about 2 hours).

 

The left queue was for group-ticket holders.

 

Roma Pass holders walk in the center between the two lines.

 

Here is the first check:

 

 

Here you need to hold your Roma Pass to RFID-transponder to the left at the entrance for group ticket holders:

 

 

They give us instructions to overrun the group tickets holders and to enter through their line.

We bought it originally to avoid line ups at the Colosseum. We found we used it frequently-especially on the subway and on the small electrico buses that weave in and out in the old city. For us, it proved to be a bargain.

For us it saved about 5 euro pp but we visited a lot of museums/sites and also used the metro to get around. Even at break even it would be worth it just to bypass the Colosseum, we basically walked right in while those with out the pass probably waited 30-60 minutes.
