- Free admission into the first TWO sights you visit from a list of 45 museums, sights, and archeological areas—nearly everything in Rome except, unfortunately, the Vatican Museums (though seem the Omnia Card below for one that also covers that).
- Discounted admission to all other sights: After your first two freebies—which, unfortunately, have to be the first two you visit, so plan your sightseeing accordingly to ensure you hit two of the priciest sights immediately—you get a varying amount of discount (anywhere from 17% to 50%) on entry to all other sights on the list.
- Head-to-the-front-of-the-security-line privileges at the Colosseum, Castel Sant’Angelo and Musei Capitolini.
- Unlimited rides on all public buses and the Metro (an €18 value in of itself—or €12.50 for the 48 version). Note this does not cover the airport train.
- Discounts on bus and other tours and on cultural events (theater, art shows, opera, dance, music).
