Omnia Card 24 Hours: Know Before You Go!

Are you planning to see Vatican and Rome in a day? Want to know which passes fit you best?

With a 24-hour Rome Omnia Card, you get skip-the-line entry to Vatican attractions like the Sistine Chapel and Vatican Museums.

What other benefits do I get?

You save money!

Your Rome Omnia card helps you save money on individual sites and bus tours in Rome. 

Why pay individually for each Roman site when you can have it all at one price? 

Together all the sites and travel would cost you more than €100.

On the other hand, you can cover some of the biggest attractions in Rome in a day for half the price.

Skip the line entry

With a 24-hour Rome Omnia card you can avoid the queues at multiple Vatican locations.

However, your 24-hour Rome Omniacard doesn’t provide access to sites in Rome.
