Plan your visit to Rome

The Colosseum is Rome’s most iconic landmark, so book your Colosseum tickets in advance (those lines can get seriously long!) This epic amphitheatre has been standing since 80 AD and once hosted wild animal shows and gladiator battles. You can walk the same arena floor, head underground on a Colosseum underground tour, or bundle it with Palatine Hill tickets for the full Ancient Rome experience. Prefer a Colosseum guided tour or even a night tour? There’s something for everyone!

No trip to Rome is complete without seeing St. Peter’s Basilica — the grandest church in the Vatican City, built over St. Peter’s tomb. You’ll find masterpieces by Michelangelo and Bernini here. Entry is free, but book tickets for extras like the dome or Vatican catacombs tour. For a calmer vibe, explore St. Peter’s Basilica at night, or skip the queue with a combo tour that includes the Vatican Museums and Sistine Chapel.

The Vatican Museums are a must-see, filled with iconic art and history. Book Vatican skip the line tickets or a Vatican City tour to avoid queues and get expert insights. For something special, try a Vatican night tour or attend the Vatican Christmas Mass. Tickets for the Mass are free but require advance booking (usually starting in November). Pro tip: Vatican tickets sell out fast, so book 3–4 weeks ahead.

If you’re into art and history, Barberini Palace is worth a visit. With your Palazzo Barberini tickets, you’ll see works by Raphael, Caravaggio, and Lippi. Don’t miss the grand staircases by Bernini and Borromini or Cortona’s stunning ceiling fresco. New exhibits like the Tempo Barocco and Mithraeum add to the experience. It’s a calm, less crowded museum with a lot to offer if you enjoy beautiful spaces and classic art.

A catacombs tour in Rome is a great way to dive underground—literally!  The best catacombs to visit are the Catacombs of St. Callixtus for early Christian history, Domitilla for vibrant frescoes, or St. Sebastian for ancient martyr tombs.Don’t miss the Capuchin Crypt, aka the bone museum in Rome, the walls decorated with real human bones! Tours are guided and usually sell out fast, so try booking atleast 2 weeks ahead.

Castel Sant’Angelo is packed with nearly 2,000 years of wild history. Once Hadrian’s tomb, it later became a papal hideout, a prison, and now a museum. Inside, you’ll find Renaissance rooms, ancient cells, even old torture tools. Don’t miss the secret passage linking it to the Vatican! Standard tickets give access to most areas, so you can explore it at your own pace.

The Borghese Gallery houses Bernini’s sculptures and Caravaggio’s paintings in their original 17th-century setting. Entry is limited to 180 people per time slot, making the visit quieter and more relaxed. It’s located inside Villa Borghese park, so you can easily explore the gardens after. Borghese Gallery tickets need to be booked in advance, as they often sell out.

Explore Da Vinci’s genius at the Leonardo da Vinci Museum in Rome, home to 50+ interactive machines and 20 life-size artwork replicas. Walk through themed zones like War Machines and the Mirror Room. It's just steps away from St. Peter’s Basilica, so you can visit both in one go. To save time and guarantee entry, book your Leonardo da Vinci Museum tickets online in advance.
