Rome Tourist Card official website: who actually sells it

Unlike the Roma Pass, the Rome Tourist Card is not issued by a public authority. It is a commercial product of the ticketing platform Tiqets — which means Tiqets itself is the official source, and there is no separate city office behind it. That single fact answers most of what people are looking for when they search for the official website, and it also explains why several near-identical sites claim the name.

Tiqets is the issuer

Tiqets is an Amsterdam-based ticketing company that sells admission to attractions across Europe. The Rome Tourist Card is its own bundle: it packages entry to several Rome landmarks into one booking, with a single confirmation on your phone. Because Tiqets both assembles and sells it, buying on tiqets.com is buying at source — there is no upstream office that sells it cheaper.

What is actually in it

You pick one option from each of three groups — the Vatican Museums with the Sistine Chapel or Castel Sant’Angelo; the Colosseum, optionally with the Roman Forum, an audio guide or the Mamertine Prison; and St. Peter’s Basilica or the Pantheon. On top of that comes a Rome city audio guide app and a personal code for 10% off other Rome attractions, valid for one month. It is a choice of three, not access to everything.

Not the same as the Roma Pass

Rome has several passes with similar names and different owners. The Roma Pass is the public one, run by the city with the Ministry of Culture, and it includes public transport. The Archeologia Card covers the archaeological sites. The Omnia Card is a Vatican-focused product. The Rome Tourist Card is none of these — it is the Tiqets bundle described above, with no transport included. If a page compares them without saying who issues each, treat it with suspicion.

How to spot a lookalike site

Several domains combine the words “rome”, “tourist” and “card” in slightly different ways, and most of them — including this one — are independent guides earning affiliate commission. That is legitimate as long as it is stated. What is not legitimate is a page that presents itself as the issuer. Two checks: does the page name Tiqets as the provider, and does it say plainly who runs the site? If either answer is missing, close the tab. And whatever the site, the booking should end on tiqets.com — that is where the card actually exists.

And this site?
