In a nutshell
- The Omnia Card scores 64 out of 100 points — the highest of any Rome city pass in our evaluation.
- It’s valid for 72 hours and bundles Vatican Museums access, hop-on/hop-off buses, and all the perks of the Roma Pass, including unlimited public transportation.
- The Omnia Card costs 149 euros and you can buy it online here.
- That said, we can’t recommend it without reservations — in most cases, buying tickets individually works out cheaper. Check our guide to tickets in Rome for tips on finding the best prices.
Is the Omnia Card Worth It for Rome?
The Omnia Card is one of four city cards available for Rome. In our comprehensive Rome city pass comparison, we put all of them head to head.
The Omnia Card comes out on top with 64 out of 100 points. That said, we wouldn’t recommend it without reservations. It scores highest mainly because all the other Rome passes performed even worse.
The range of what’s included with the Omnia Card is genuinely solid.
The card consists of two parts:
- the Omnia Card itself, which includes a ticket for the Vatican and a 72-hour ticket for various hop-on/hop-off buses
- a Roma Pass for 72 hours, which gives you access to public transportation, free entry to two attractions of your choice, and discounts at many other attractions and museums
The Omnia Card is essentially an all-in-one package for Rome that covers everything you need for a classic city trip.
The downsides are the somewhat complicated handling and the fact that you don’t save a particularly large amount of money with the card. Though honestly, that’s a problem every Rome pass shares.
Below, we’ll walk you through everything you need to know about the Rome Omnia Card and how we arrived at our score.

Quick note: The first three attractions in the table and the transportation options are always included with the Omnia Card for 72 hours.
On top of that, you can choose two attractions from everything included in the Roma Pass to visit for free. Most visitors use this for the Colosseum and the Galleria Borghese, since both are relatively pricey and often sell out fast.
For all other attractions, you’ll get a discount on the entry fee. The table above shows what admission costs with the Roma Pass or Omnia Card.

Our Verdict
Of all the Rome passes, the Omnia Card earned the best score in our analysis with 64 out of 100 points.
The card is a genuine all-in-one package — it covers everything important for a classic trip to Rome: the top sights, public transportation, and hop-on/hop-off buses.
That said, the Rome Omnia Card is by no means essential. The savings are relatively modest and the convenience factor isn’t all that high either.
Sample Calculation: 3 Days in Rome with the Omnia Card
To help you decide, here’s a sample calculation showing whether the Omnia Card is worth it for you. We built on the calculation from our Roma Pass analysis and added a Vatican ticket and the hop-on/hop-off bus.
| without Omnia Card | with Omnia Card | |
|---|---|---|
| Omnia Card cost | - | 149.00 EUR |
| Vatican Museums | 39.00 to 89.00 EUR | free |
| Hop-on/Hop-off Bus | 46.00 EUR | free |
| Public transit | 18.00 EUR | free |
| Colosseum | 18.00 EUR | free |
| Galleria Borghese | 16.00 EUR | free |
| Castel Sant'Angelo | 16.00 EUR | 6.50 EUR |
| Baths of Caracalla | 8.00 EUR | 2.00 EUR |
| Circus Maximus | 7.00 EUR | 4.00 EUR |
| Capitoline Museums | 19.50 EUR | 9.50 EUR |
| 4x restroom | 4.00 EUR | free |
| Total | 211.50 EUR | 170.70 EUR |
Since Vatican ticket prices vary quite a bit, we used a midpoint value of 59 euros. That gives us savings of roughly 40 euros.
Sounds decent — but take it with a grain of salt. Our calculation includes both the standard price for public transportation and for the hop-on/hop-off bus.
Public transportation alone is more than enough for getting around Rome. If you take the hop-on/hop-off bus out of the equation, you’ll only come out ahead if you end up needing an expensive Vatican Museums ticket.
Frequently Asked Questions about the Omnia Card
Is the Omnia Card also available for 24 hours?
Yes, there’s a 24-hour version too. We deliberately left it out of our analysis, though, because we don’t think it’s particularly worth it.
The 24-hour Omnia Card includes only one Vatican ticket, the hop-on/hop-off buses, and admission to the Mamertine Prison. The Roma Pass is not included, so there’s no public transportation either.
The 24-hour Omnia Card costs 69 euros and you can buy it here.
Where do I pick up the Omnia Card?
Bring the voucher from your confirmation email to the ORP Collection Point, located right at St. Peter’s Basilica: Collection Point on Google Maps.
Show your QR code there and you’ll receive your Omnia Card and the Roma Pass.
There’s also a second pickup location at the Basilica di San Giovanni (on Google Maps).
Which hop-on/hop-off buses can I use with the Omnia Card?
With the Omnia Card, you can ride the buses of three different companies:
- Big Bus
- City Sightseeing
- Vatican & Rome
When you board one of the buses for the first time, you’ll be issued a paper ticket. Keep it — you’ll need to show it every time you board.
How do I get my Vatican tickets with the Omnia Card?
To reserve your time slot for the Vatican, you have two options:
- through the Omnia Card reservation website
- through the Vatican & Rome App (for iOS / for Android)
You’ll need to enter your Omnia Card number first, then book your preferred time slot.
Your Vatican entry ticket will be sent to you by email no later than 24 hours before your visit.
How do I reserve the attractions included in the Roma Pass?
Here’s what you need to know: the Roma Pass includes two free attractions, and you’ll get a discount on all others. You choose which two you want to visit for free.
The key thing: you need to visit those two attractions first — or at least book the tickets online before using the card for discounts elsewhere.
We’ve explained exactly how to reserve your attractions in our Roma Pass article.
Are young children free with the Omnia Card?
Yes! Children under 5 years old get in free everywhere.
