Three Days Itinerary in Rome, Italy

Travel Tip: You may want to get a Roma Pass for 36 euros. The advantages of having a Roma Pass include free entry to two museums or archaeological sites of your choice and free use of the city’s public transport network. You will also be given a Roma Map, a Roma Pass Guide and Roma è, the card with the App to download the best city. The card is valid for three days and is activated upon the first entry to any museum or archeological sites and/or at the time of first journey on public transport. I bought my Roma Pass online and collected it at PIT Nazionale , Via Nazionale.
