Worth it?
4 questionsIs the Colosseum worth it?
Yes, and the cheapest ticket is the one you want. €18 covers the Colosseum, the Roman Forum and the Palatine for 24 hours. The €24 tiers buy a floor, not a better day.
Do I tip in Rome?
No. And if there's a “coperto” line on your bill in Rome, it isn't a custom — regional law prohibits it outright, with a fine of up to €7,500.
Is the Vatican free on Sunday?
One Sunday a month — the last one, 09:00 to 14:00, free. Every other Sunday the Vatican Museums are shut, which is the part people get wrong.
How much is a taxi from Fiumicino?
€55, flat, per car, to anywhere inside the Aurelian Walls — supplements included. Rome's own tourism page still says €48. It's out of date, and so is the driver quoting you more.
