Rome Pass
 

Does it cover the Leonardo Express? or any other FCO transport to the city?

Can I buy it at the airport?

Thanks

There are two Roma Passes. One for 20E, the Roma Pass(doesn't cover the Leonardo) and one for 25E, Roma and Piu Pass (does cover the Leonardo). You can purchase at the airport. Here is the link on where to purchase and what is covered. I've noticed that the Borghese is no longer listed as one of the museums.

The Galleria Borghese is still listed:

Museo e Galleria Borghese, Piazzale del Museo Borghese 5

I used my pass at the Borghese 4 days ago.

This sounds like a really good deal. For those who have used it... would you recommend using it?? Would it be easier to book at the airport or purchase in advance from the website?

From what I could see, at least for the Romapass, you can't really buy it online - you can pay for it online, but you can't get it until you go pick it up at a point-of-sale. So no point, really.

Click on download if you want the details of the pass. There have never updated the web site to include the Roma & Piu Pass. I gave a link for Pierreci because it tells about the newer pass.

This is great!

If you are flying into Rome, you have to take a train to Termini. (Or if you are training in, you are at Termini anyway.)

There is a booth that sells Roma Passes on the lower level of the station, just go down the stairs towards the car rental signs.

While the Piu pass includes the train from FCO, you (as of a couyple weeks ago) can't purchase it at FCO.
Note: when you first use your pass-card for a free museum it starts the 3 day clock ticking. For instance, if you first use it on a Monday, you can only use it for free/discount admissions untl midnight Wednesday.
We actually purchased both a PIU and the old Roma Pass this year. Used the pass first and the Piu the next 3 days.

jabez - The Roma Pass web site says you can purchase at the Tourist Point in Terminal C at FCO. Are you saying you actually tried to purchase there and were told no?

Roma Pass can be purchased from:

All Museums and sites that have joined the initiative
Tourist Information Points in the Municipality of Rome:
Stazione Termini - Via Giolitti, 34 (Binario 24)
Stazione Termini - Piazza dei Cinquecento - Vetrina Roma
Aeroporto Leonardo Da Vinci - Arrivi Internazionali (Terminal C)
Castel S. Angelo - Lungotevere Vaticano
Via dei Fori Imperiali - Piazza del Tempio della Pace
Via Minghetti - Fontana di Trevi
Piazza delle Cinque Lune - Piazza Navona

A friend that we met in Rome said that they couldn't purchase the PIU pass. Thet may just have been out.

Has anyone had success using the Roma & Piu pass on the Leonardo Express? I ask because when we traveled to Rome on October 30-31, I purchased the Roma & Piu pass at the airport and was not allowed to use it for the Leonardo Express and had to buy a separate ticket for the train. I've read that people have used it, but the paperwork I got with my pass specifically said that the Leonardo Express was NOT included.

From Provincia Di Roma:

Fiore all’occhiello della Card provinciale è l’accordo con il ‘Leonardo Express’ il treno che collega in mezz’ora l’aeroporto di Fiumicino con la stazione Termini di Roma. Il turista potrà così viaggiare gratuitamente sul treno con il semplice acquisto del pacchetto della ‘Roma& Più Pass’.

which Babelfish translates to:

Flower to the eyelet of the provincial Card is the agreement with ` the Leonardo Express' the train that connects in half hour the airport of Fiumicino with the station Terms of Rome. The tourist will be able therefore free of charge to travel on the train with the simple purchase of the package of ` the Roma& More Pass'.

I have seen reports where this pass can't be bought at the Tourist Info booth at the airport, but can be bought at the Commune Di Roma booth in terminal C, not far from the Tourist Info.
The only difference between the 20E and 25E pass is supposed to be the use of the Leonardo Express.

When this pass started in 2006, many museums listed as part of it, didn't even know what is was.

"The only difference between the 20E and 25E pass is supposed to be the use of the Leonardo Express."

Not exactly.
There are more sites on the PIU pass including Villa d"Este and the Cerveteri necroplis.
Another nice plus is being able to use the suburban Cotral buses. This basically gives someone a free ride and sdmission to Tivoli.
