Roma Pass & The Vatican

Can we use the Roma pass at the Vatican and museums? Trying to figure out if it's worth it. Thanks!

Sorry, no. The Roma Pass doesn't cover anything at the Vatican.

Also be aware that you must make advance reservations at both the Colosseum and Galleria Borghese if using the pass for either of them: see the Roma Pass FAQs:

I thought that the Roma pass gets you to the front of the line at the colleseum with no reservation. Am I understanding this incorrect? I do know that the Borghese Gallery does require reservations though.

No, the pass doesn't allow you to visit the Colosseum on any day at any time anymore. That changed on March 1 this year; you must now make an advance, timed-entry reservation. Please see the link for the pass FAQs I posted above. Also see this recent thread:
