About this attraction
Everything you need to know about Rome Hop-On Bus
The Rome hop-on hop-off bus covers 11 stops connecting all the major monuments — the Colosseum, Vatican, Trevi Fountain, Spanish Steps, Borghese Gallery, Piazza Navona, Campo de' Fiori, and beyond. A 24h or 48h pass gives you complete flexibility to explore at your own pace.
The open-top double-decker is the most efficient way for first-time visitors to cover the geography of Rome, which is larger and more spread out than most European cities. Buses run every 15–20 minutes and the multilingual audio guide explains every monument as you pass.
