Roma Pass vs Omnia Card
Quick answer
The Omnia Card 72h bundles a Roma Pass component and adds the Vatican Museums and a hop-on hop-off bus. The Roma Pass starts at €38 and the Omnia Card at €149. If you do not plan to enter the Vatican Museums, the Roma Pass alone covers the same Roma Pass sites; if you do, compare the Omnia Card against buying a Vatican ticket separately.

Key differences
What the Omnia Card adds
The Omnia Card is built around a Vatican Museums entry and bundles a Roma Pass for the rest of the city, plus ATAC transport and a hop-on hop-off bus. In our data the Vatican Museums are included on the Omnia Card and are not part of the Roma Pass network at all.
The Roma Pass rules still apply inside the Omnia Card
The Roma Pass component of the Omnia Card works as the Roma Pass does: a fixed number of free admissions chosen from the network, then reduced rates. Holding the Omnia Card therefore does not make the Colosseum or the Galleria Borghese unconditionally free.
What neither pass covers
Neither the Roma Pass nor the Omnia Card includes the Pantheon or the Catacombs of San Callisto in our data.
Which one fits you?
Choose the Roma Pass if…
- You do not plan to enter the Vatican Museums, or you would rather buy that ticket separately.
- You mainly want a few large ancient sites plus local transport.
- You want the lowest entry price.
Choose the Omnia Card 72h if…
- You want the Vatican Museums, the Roma Pass sites and a hop-on hop-off bus in one purchase.
- You will actually use the hop-on hop-off bus.
- You do not mind collecting a physical card: the Omnia Card requires pickup.

Frequently asked questions
Does the Omnia Card include the Roma Pass?
Yes. Our registry records a bundled 72-hour Roma Pass component inside the Omnia Card 72h, which is why the Roma Pass sites work the same way under both products.
Is the Vatican included in the Roma Pass?
No. Vatican City is a separate state and the Vatican Museums are not in the Roma Pass network. They are listed as included on the Omnia Card.
