Rome Pass/Borghese Galleria

I am looking at buying the Rome pass, I will use it for admission to the Colleseum and the Borghese Galleria.

How do I make reservations at the Borghese Galleria with the pass?

Sorry if this sounds like a dumb question, the only information I could get on the Rome Pass website provided a link to the Galleria's website which provide a link to buy tickets. I'm a little confused about how to book. Can I request a time slot, or do i need to take whatever they assign?

Thank in advance.

I am not familiar with the ROme Pass but off hand it seems to me that passes usually are not that good and for two sites ...it seems simply buy the tickets will do.

I purchased my pass at a small shop that sold phone cards and newspapers etc in the underground arcade of main railway station Termini. I know that they are also sold at the train travel bureau on the furtherst platform right (when facing towards the stationary trains). Probably many small kiosk type shops sell them and they are worthwhile as include subway as well as other discounts.

You can buy the Roma Pass at any of the locations given on the Web site, including the tourist information offices at FCO and Roma Termini.

If you follow through on the Galleria Borghese's Web site, you are given the choice of buying or only reserving the time slot you choose.

The Galleria Borghese costs 13.50 Euro while the Coreggio exhibition is on; the Colosseum combo costs 11 Euro. You will therefore be paying a grand total of 0.50 Euro for three days of public transport.

Sheesh!

Graziella5b, Good_will and Zerlina, thanks for your help. Zerlina, you suggested the Rome Pass for the Borghese Galleria and Colleseum on my other thread - thanks.

I am looking forward to exploring Rome.
