More About the Roma Pass
This Rome information blog is written for the guests of the Chaplin Bed and Breakfast Roma and the Hostel Little Italy B&B.
Where can the Roma Pass be bought?
The Roma Pass is for sale at all the museums and tourist sites that are included. It can (in theory, at least) also be bought at the Information Points that can be found close to the main attractions and at Rome Termini Station and the airport of Fiumicino. Travel agencies, tobacco shops, newspaper stands and Atac ticket offices are also supposed to sell them, but in reality they hardly ever do.
How to use the Roma Pass
Before visiting the first tourist attraction, write your full name and the activation date on the back of the pass. From this point you have free access to the first two museums or monuments selected. From the third visit onwards you have to show the Roma Pass at the entrance in order to get the reduction. (It is mandatory to also have a means of identification with you.)
Also for the public transport pass you will have to write first name, family name and date of birth on the back of the pass and then validate it the first time you use it. (Note that you are supposed to activate the public transport and the museum pass on the same day)
