I got the 48hour Roma Pass and am planning to see Colosseum + Borghese Gallery. Any other must-see places that are covered by the pass (or half covered)?
Here's the complete list.
Enjoy!
If you will use the Roma Pass for entry to the Borghese Gallery you must telephone for a reservation. You must have a reservation - the pass gets you in if it is one of the first two uses of the pass but only gives a slight discount if it is after the first two - all visitors must have a reservation for a two hour time slot and the pass does not allow you to just turn up.
The only way for Roma Pass holders to obtain this reservation is by telephone during Italian working hours, and you may have to try several times.
If you didn't use the pass you could easily use their interactive website - but not if you are using the pass.
Here's the info for making reservations at the Borghese if using the Roma Pass:
"For the Borghese Gallery and Palazzo Valentini (Domus Romane), booking is required also for Roma Pass and/or Roma Pass 48 hours holders….
For reservations to the Borghese Gallery and/or Domus Romane/Palazzo Valentini, please call +39 06 32810 (open Monday to Friday, 9:00 am to 6:00 pm – Saturdays, 9:00 am to 1:00 pm). Bookings can be made directly from the visitor’s home country, even before purchasing the card. Please note: it is not possible to make an online reservation without prepaying the ticket. If you intend to visit the museum / site with your Roma Pass or Roma Pass 48 hours, you must make your reservation on the phone, by calling +39 0632810."
I'll cross fingers for you but if you'll be in Rome next week, I think your chances of them having any open time slots left are pretty slim at this point. Tickets are limited, and you can only access the museum if they have any 2-hour visiting windows which haven't yet been filled.
Or maybe you knew that and already made your reservation? Hope so!
