Additional Information & Description

City Sightseeing Rome puts you on an open-top, double-decker bus for a look at the Eternal City on your own schedule. The hop-on hop-off format gives you control over how you explore: stay aboard to see the city from the bus, or step off to spend time at the sights that interest you.

A route through Rome’s major sights

The tour connects sightseeing with transport, taking in landmarks including the Vatican, Spanish Steps and Colosseum. Along the route, you can also pass Circo Massimo, the Roman Forum and Palatine Hill. These stops bring several of Rome’s ancient sites into the same outing, alongside other major attractions. Frequent departures and arrivals support the hop-on hop-off approach, so your visit need not follow the pace of a single uninterrupted bus ride.

Yellow Line access and a paper map

Your ticket includes hop-on hop-off travel and access to the Yellow Line. A paper route map is included too, giving you a reference for the stops and the route as you decide where to get off. The tour duration is 1 hour and 40 minutes; time spent exploring away from the bus adds to your outing.

Listen to commentary as you travel

An onboard audio guide accompanies the journey with commentary on the sights of ancient Rome. Listen in Chinese, English, French, German, Italian, Portuguese, Russian or Spanish. The narration adds context to what you pass, making the bus journey part of the sightseeing rather than simply a transfer between places. Free WiFi is also available onboard.

A walking tour and live bus tracking

The free Sightseeing Experience app includes a City Walking Tour and a real-time bus tracker. These are distinct additions to the bus trip: one provides content for exploring on foot, while the other shows bus movements. The app is available in English, Italian, French, Spanish and German.

Digital tickets and accessible travel

Tickets are delivered instantly, and smartphone tickets are accepted. The tour is wheelchair accessible.
