2 day trip to Rome, what pass is better?

markdbruce

Hi everyone, first time poster here so apologize if this has been asked before, i have a three night, two full day trip to Rome booked for the 22nd of November for two people, my question is, does anyone know to what card is the best for value for money to the museums and attractions?
I've searched and searched and found numerous cards and passes that all say similar things, but at considerably different prices, the one i thought was the better card in way of what you get is the Omnia card, what you get is the following:
With The OMNIA Vatican & Rome Card you recieve:

• Free entry to Vatican City museums, historic buildings & tours
• Free entry to your choice of 2 out of 5 top Rome attractions including the Coliseum, Roman Forum & Palatine Hill, Capitolini Museums, Borghese Gallery and National Museum of Castel St. Angelo
• Discounted entry to another 30 plus sights, attractions and museums in Rome
• Free hop-on-hop-off bus tour ticket
  of Rome – for 3 days!
• Fast track entry to all Vatican City sights – saving you over 4 hours during busy periods
• Free Travelcard for unlimited access to Rome's public transport system
• Free detailed Guidebook to help plan the perfect trip

It sounds great but is for a three day pass and is £153 after i converted it from euros for two people, it is too expensive for me to pay considering I've paid for the flights and hotel.
Has anyone been to Rome and found a better or cheaper card/pass that would be better for us and if so, any input would be greatly appreciated, thank you for taking the time to read.

As with all such discount cards, I'd plan exactly what you really want to see, then check the website of each attraction and check the cost. You can easily spend several hours at the Vatican, and I'm hearing the the crypt tour is amazing, but must be booked in advance by email. (check Tripadvisor for the email address).

I prefer just walking round the city soaking up the atmosphere and going into the places that have the shortest queues, but as this card does get you fast track entry, it is seriously worth considering. Also check out the times and dates the Sistine Chapel is open.

I've never caught it open, and just look at this instead http://www.vatican.va/various/cappelle/sistina_vr/

Just spent a few days in Rome. If I recall the vatican museums (inc sistine chapel) were EUR 20 per person and the collosseum (inc forum and palatine) were also EUR 20 per person. Other places like the pantheon, trevi fountain and spanish steps were free. That would be enought for me for 2 days.

We did all of these and didn't use public transport at all, just took one taxi (hotel to vatican EUR 9) and walked the rest of it.

Rome is a walkable city (depending of course on where you are staying)

Enjoy

Just back from Rome yesterday - Collosseum, Palatine Hill and Forum costs 12 Euro/pp and the ticket is valid for 2 days.
Avoid public transport, the city is a nightmare, everywhere packed like sardines - Metro next to useless, trams probably the best but still packed to the gunnels.
Best, get a Hotel near the Pantheon and use your legs!
