Visiting Rome for a few days and can't decide between the Rome Pass or the Omnia Card?
There are two cards in Rome that allow you to access the most important museums for free or at a discounted rate, as well as free access to public transportation: Roma Pass and the Omnia Card. The Omnia Card is slightly more focused on the Vatican and its sites but includes the Roma Pass in it's deal (at least the 72 hour version). For this reason the Omnia Card is significantly more expensive.
The card costs € 113 (US$ 133.10) for adults, and € 80 (US$ 94.20) for children from 6 to 9. The main benefit to the OMNIA Vatican & Rome Card is the skip the line feature, especially when it comes to the Vatican Museums, St. Peter's Basilica and the Colosseum, as well as being able to use public transport for free. This review is primarily of the Samsung Omnia 7 hardware. Check out our full review of Windows Phone 7 for our thoughts on the OS.%Gallery-105343%. (and that's with the original SIM card. The Rome Pass and OMNIA Card will be a bit confusing for most people so I'll explain exactly what you get here so you can decide if it's a good value for your own trip. Officially you get the following 4 items: OMNIA Vatican and Rome card for Vatican City sights & tours as well as the hop-on-hop-off bus tour. Omnia Card helps you get the most out of your trip, making everything simpler, clearer and cost-effective. According to the length of your stay, we can offer two solutions: a card with a validity of 24 hours and one with a validity of 72 hours, both comprehensive of a selected number of services. The OMNIA Vatican and Rome Card is actually 2 passes in one: The Roma Pass and the OMNIA Card. With this combo pass, you have the full Roma Pass at your disposal. Like with all 72-hour Roma Passes, 'free' entry is included to 2 of Rome's best tourist attractions.
So, which is right for you? Let's have a look at the characteristics of each below, and then you be the judge!

The skinny on choosing the Roma Pass or Omnia Card
So which card is the right one for you? There are several factors to consider:
- Are you traveling with kids?
- How many museums do you want to see?
- How do you want to get around Rome?
- Are you planning on taking a hop-on-hop-off service?
While the Omnia Card is significantly more expensive it offers more services and access to sites, like the bus tour and privileged access to the Vatican sites. The 72-hour Omnia Card includes the Roma Pass, so all of its benefits are included. The best approach is to roughly layout what you'd like to see in Rome and see which service gives the best bang for your buck! And don't forget that the first Sunday of every month enjoys free entrance to all state-run museums! Which one's are those? These.
