Regarding Rome admission fee of major attractions??

Question

I am aiming to visit Rome in the coming August, and I have question regarding Rome attractions admission fee. I am aiming to visit these attractions that have fees on it such as Colosseum, Palatine Hill, Castel Sant' Angelo, Roman Forum, Barberini Palace, Baths of Caracalla, Isola Tiberina, Palazzo Venezia, Trajan's Column , and Villa Borghese. Also, I am aiming to visit Free attrations such as Pantheon, Trevi Fountain, .etc.

My questions are:

1) some websites such as Formmers.com and www.planetware.com note different fee admission , so what is the most updated website might help me to know the admissions?

2) What is the Archeologia Card and Appia Antica Card? Does it include Metro, Bus ?

3) some website included different admissions for different ages such as adults, children, senior. How they classify adults and children in terms of years? adults over 18? Is it fixed or change

4) some websites such as (http://www.colorshotel.com) include "discount rate" of admission what's about

Answer 1

Hello,

You might want to check out the rome pass ( romapass.it/english/index.html ).  This pass will allow you entrance into most museums and sites in Rome and also includes use of the transportation system including the buses  and the metro.  This card will cover most if not all of the sites you want to see.  You get into your first two sites for free and then get discounts into the other sites.  This will allow you to bypass the line into the colosseum if you use it as one of your first two sites.  The entrance pass and the transportation pass are two separate passes that can be used independently of each other.  Check out the website for all the details and the price. It really is a great pass to use.  It looks like you will be seeing a lot of the pay sites in Rome so it will save you a lot of money to get this pass.

You can check out pierreci.it/do/show/corporate/5 for ticketing information.   From my experience traveling to Rome a few times a year I can tell you that most sites are 12 euros or under.  If you use the discount card it will be even less.  As for the reduced rate, that is usually for members of the european union.  they have reciprocal discounts throughout Europe so you must come from one of the countries that is a part of that alliance in order to get the discount.  You must show an I.D. of some sort.  As for the age issue, it depends on the attraction.  Some consider kids under 12 and juniors up to 18 and adults after that.

Recommended Booking Tickets for Rome Attractions

Avoid standing in lines for the more popular sights by making reservations whenever possible.

In Rome, the Borghese Gallery Tel. [phone] and .

You can speak to someone in English by selecting 2.  You just reserve your time and date... and you pay when you arrive at the gallery.

Nero’s Golden House Tel.[phone]

To skip the line at Rome's Colosseum, buy a combo-ticket at the Palatine Hill Museum nearby.

Most museums rent audioguides for about $5, giving you a basic, recorded English-language tour of the displays

Points of Interest in the Appia Antica Park

http://www.parks.it/parco.appia.antica/E...

Appia Antica Card and Archeologia Cards  are passes that you can use to visit certain attractions. They are valid for 7 days. You can visit each attraction associated with each card once..,

The cards do not include the bus or metro

Appia Antica card cost 6 euros  and the Archeologia card is 20 euros.

Archeologia card includes the entrance to all the sites of the Roman National Museum, to the Colosseum, the Palatine, the Baths of Caracalla, the Tomb of Cecilia Metella and the Villa of the Quintili. The card can be purchased from the ticket counters of each site, except for the Tomb of Cecilia Metella and the Villa of the Quintili, and also from the Visitor Center of Rome Tourist Board (APT) in Via Parigi 5.

The Appia Antica card  includes the entrance to the Baths of Caracalla, the Tomb of Cecilia Metella and the Villa of the Quintili.

You can purchase the Appia Antica pass at any of the attractions . I was in Rome recently and we did this.



For information on the attractions

Great sightseeing bus services. I would highly recommend.

It is well worth it.

You can purchase the tickets at the Bus 110 ticket booth near Termini station located between the city buses in the booth there or aboard the bus.

110 Bus is an open sightseeing bus which makes stops to the main attractions in Rome... It is a hop on/hop/off bus...

Good idea if you have children or adult who cannot walk a lot.

A bus ticket cost 16 euros. and children under 6 do not pay.(children 6-12 years Euro 7,00)

From Termini Station, departing every day, every 15 minutes. You can also hop on one of the buses at one of their stops and buy a ticket.

Archeobus will take you to Appia Antica. It is a sightseeing bus that will take to all the sites of the old Appia way... It departs every hour from 9:45am- 4.45am from the Termini train station. You can buy them on board the bus or at the Red Bus 110 Ticket booth.... They have 2 forms-- a 2 hour sightseeing bus or the hop on/ hop off It cost 10 euro.

If you would like to buy a both tickets you save 2 euros.

The Archeobus ticket + 110 bus - Euro 24,00

For stops for each of the buses, check out this site. The Bus 110 stops are the nearest stop to the attraction.

I did not see anything in reference to discount rates on attractions at the link you posted.

Discount site for Rome attractions..

Most of these are with tour groups... You can avoid lines if you go with a tour.

Prices for attractions  regarding ages  vary... There is no set age range.

If I can be of any further help,  let me know.
