How it Works

1. Buy your pass

Choose your duration (2-5 days) and add the Colosseum and Vatican Museums if you want them. You’ll get a digital pass by email immediately after booking.

2. Pick Your Time Slots

When you book, select preferred dates for your Colosseum and Vatican visits (if included). The system assigns you the next available time slot. Check your confirmation email for the exact times.

3. Download and Collect

Your digital pass arrives by email right away. Save your digital pass to your phone. If your pass includes public transport, collect a physical ticket at a Turbopass partner office in Rome.

4. Activate at Your First Attraction

Your pass activates when you use it at any attraction. Start wherever you want. It’s then valid for consecutive days based on what you bought.

5. Show Your QR Code

At each attraction, show your phone with the QR code. Staff scan it and let you in. Sometimes they’ll give you a paper ticket, but entry is direct.
For partner discounts, show your pass before paying. For guided tours, give your City Pass code to the provider when booking.
Each attraction can be visited once. Your pass expires at midnight on your final day.

What’s Included

The Main Attractions

The pass includes access to major Rome attractions plus discount partners. Here are the top sites:

Pantheon: One of the best-preserved Roman buildings in the world. The dome is still the largest unreinforced concrete dome ever built. Entry is free but the pass lets you skip any lines.
Castel Sant’Angelo: Originally Emperor Hadrian’s mausoleum, later a fortress and papal residence. The views from the top are excellent.
Ostia Antica: An ancient Roman port city with well-preserved ruins including a theater, baths, and mosaics. About 30 minutes outside central Rome.
National Roman Museum sites: Includes Palazzo Barberini and Galleria Corsini with paintings by Caravaggio and Raphael.
Piazza Navona Underground (Stadio di Domiziano): The ancient stadium beneath Piazza Navona. Most tourists don’t know it exists.
Case Romane del Celio: Roman houses and early Christian structures hidden beneath a medieval basilica.

You also get:

Assisted entry to St. Peter’s Basilica with an English audio guide
48-hour hop-on hop-off bus tour with audio guide
Guided walking tour of central Rome
Guided bike tour
Public transportation (unlimited access to metro, buses & trams)
Entry to Palazzo Merulana, Wax Museum, GAMM Game Museum, Palazzo Patrizi
Vicus Caprarius archaeological site

Vatican Museums & Sistine Chapel: Pre-booked entry with a guaranteed time slot.

Getting Around Rome with Your Pass

The Hop-on Hop-off Bus

Your pass includes a 48-hour ticket for the Big Bus tour. The buses cover all major attractions on multiple routes.
Jump on and off as many times as you want. The audio guide explains what you’re seeing. Use it on your first day to get oriented.
Buses run frequently during the day but get crowded in peak season. Go early morning for the best experience.

Public Transport

Public transport is included. Your pass covers unlimited rides on the metro, buses, and trams. Collect a physical transport ticket at one of the Turbopass partner offices in Rome (Mon-Sat 9:30-17:00, Sun 10:00-13:00).
Airport routes to FCO and Ciampino are not covered.

Getting Between Attractions

Most major sites are in the historic center. Walk from the Pantheon to Piazza Navona in five minutes. The Colosseum is about 20 minutes on foot.
The Vatican is further west. Take metro line A to Ottaviano station, then walk 10 minutes.
Ostia Antica needs a train from Porta San Paolo station (near Piramide metro). Journey takes 30 minutes.

Reservations and Timed Entry

Booking Colosseum and Vatican Time Slots

When you buy your pass, select preferred dates for the Colosseum and Vatican (if included). The system books the next available time slot during your pass validity.
Your Colosseum or Vatican visit might be scheduled for your first day. If you arrive in Rome at 14:00 and your slot is at 11:00, you’ll miss it. Check your confirmation carefully.
Reservations open about six weeks in advance. Your tickets appear in your digital pass 1-2 weeks before your visit.

Booking St. Peter’s Basilica Time Slots

Entry is included but the booking process is separate. Reserve your time slot through the Turbopass digital app after your pass arrives. Book it early.

If Your Time Slot Doesn’t Work

If the assigned time doesn’t work, contact Turbopass support immediately. They can sometimes change it, but there’s no guarantee.
This is the main complaint in reviews: people arrive and their Colosseum booking conflicts with their arrival time.
The Vatican Museums are closed on Sundays. If your assigned slot lands on a Sunday, contact Turbopass support to reschedule.

For Other Attractions

Other attractions don’t need reservations. Show up during opening hours with your pass.
The Pantheon has long lines at midday. Go early morning or late afternoon. Castel Sant’Angelo is usually manageable throughout the day.

Is the Rome Turbopass worth it?

When It Is

You’re visiting 4+ attractions. The break-even point is around four paid attractions plus the bus tour.
You want the Colosseum and Vatican. These two sites often sell out. Guaranteed entry is valuable.
You’re a first-time visitor. The pass gives you a structured way to see major highlights.
You’re staying 2-3 days. Enough time to visit multiple attractions without rushing.
You’re bringing kids. The Game Museum, Wax Museum, and hop-on hop-off bus keep children entertained.

When It Isn’t

You’re only interested in 1-2 sites. Buy individual tickets. You’ll spend less.
You prefer slow travel. If you like spending half a day in one museum, this pass will feel wasteful.
You’ve been to Rome before. Repeat visitors usually have specific sites that might not be included.
You’re staying less than 24 hours. Not enough time to visit enough attractions.
Your dates are inflexible. If you need the Colosseum on a specific day/time, book separately rather than hoping the pass assigns you the right slot.

FAQs

What does the Turbopass include?

The base pass covers 20+ attractions and experiences, a 48-hour hop-on hop-off bus tour, a guided walking tour, a guided bike tour, and unlimited public transport on Rome’s metro, buses, and trams. The Colosseum and Vatican Museums are optional add-ons chosen when you book.

How does the Turbopass work?

You buy the pass for the length you need, then use it to enter the included attractions during that window. Everything is digital, so the pass and any booking details arrive by email to show on your phone.

Is a Rome pass like Turbopass worth it?

It pays off if you plan to see several of the included sights, since bundling is simpler than separate bookings. If you only want one or two attractions, book those directly. To weigh it against the other options, see our Rome city pass comparison.

Do I need to book attractions in advance?

Most attractions are walk-in during opening hours. Three exceptions: if you add the Colosseum or Vatican Museums, those time slots are assigned at the point of purchase, and St. Peter’s Basilica entry is reserved through the Turbopass digital app after you receive your pass, so book that slot early.

How long is the Turbopass valid?

Choose 2 – 5 consecutive days when you buy. The pass activates on first use and is valid for consecutive days based on what you bought.
