💡Which restricted Roman Forum sites does the Super Pass open?
An entry pass, not a guided tour: the Forum Super Pass bundles the Roman Forum, Palatine Hill and the restricted S.U.P.E.R. sites — House of Augustus, House of Livia, Domus Tiberiana, Santa Maria Antiqua — with a digital audio guide app, at $25 per person. No Colosseum entry. Best for independent visitors who want the interiors, not a group.

🏛️ What Makes This Worth Booking
The €18 official ticket gets you the Colosseum's levels 1–2, the Roman Forum and Palatine Hill — the open ruins, the walkable ground. What it does not open is the locked doors on that same ground. This pass does exactly that: the House of Augustus and House of Livia with their painted rooms, the Aula Isiaca and Loggia Mattei, Santa Maria Antiqua, the Temple of Romulus, the Curia Iulia, the reopened Domus Tiberiana, plus the Museum of the Roman Forum and the Palatine Museum. Those are the frescoed and roofed spaces most visitors walk past without knowing they can enter.
The trade is explicit and you should read it before booking: this ticket does not include the Colosseum. You are swapping the amphitheatre for interior access across the Forum and Palatine. If the Colosseum is the reason you came to Rome, this is the wrong product; if you have already seen it, or have a separate Colosseum ticket, this is the deeper half of Ancient Rome.
There is no live guide despite what the general listing flags suggest — what you get is a digital audio guide app, with access instructions sent in your booking confirmation. That means you set your own pace, take as long as you like inside the Palatine Museum, and leave when you want, with none of the meeting-point choreography a guided combo requires. It also means nobody answers your questions.
⚔️ The Experience
Entry is with a timed pass rather than a tour meeting: you arrive at the Forum entrance, scan in, and start the audio guide on your own phone using the instructions that came with your booking. From the first steps the route runs through the Roman Forum — the ruins of the government buildings and temples that were the administrative core of the empire.
Inside the Forum the pass unlocks what a standard ticket leaves shut. The Curia Iulia, the Senate house, is enterable; so is the Temple of Romulus and Santa Maria Antiqua, the early church built into the imperial ruins. The new Museum of the Roman Forum collects the artefacts excavated from the ground you have just crossed, and the House of the Vestals puts the Vestal Virgins' quarters into the walk.
Climbing to Palatine Hill — the centremost of the Seven Hills — brings the imperial residences and the views back down over the Forum. Here the pass covers the Palatine Museum with its sculptures and frescoes, the Domus Tiberiana, the House of Augustus and House of Livia, the Aula Isiaca and Loggia Mattei, and the Ninfeo della Pioggia.
The pass also carries you into the Imperial Forum, with the Forum of Caesar and the Forum of Nerva closing the circuit. Any temporary exhibitions running across these sites are included on the same ticket.
💰 Is It Worth It?
Our verdict: The Forum Super Pass is $25 per person against the €18 official ticket — roughly a $6–7 premium — and that premium buys a genuinely different set of doors, not a better version of the same visit. You give up the Colosseum entirely and gain interior access to the House of Augustus, House of Livia, Domus Tiberiana, Santa Maria Antiqua, the Curia Iulia, the Aula Isiaca and two museums, plus an audio guide app. For a few dollars, that is one of the cleanest value trades in Rome — provided the Colosseum is already handled some other way.
Worth it if:
- You have already been inside the Colosseum, or hold a separate ticket, and want the frescoed interiors the €18 ticket keeps locked
- You prefer self-paced visiting with an audio app over a 2.5–4 hour guided combo where the Forum absorbs the schedule pressure
- You want the Museum of the Roman Forum and Palatine Museum, both included here and both easy to miss on a guided route
Skip it if:
- The Colosseum is the point of your visit — $25 over the €18 ticket is steep when the €18 ticket is the one that includes the amphitheatre
- You want a licensed guide answering questions; this is an app, and licensed guided tours in Rome average 4.94 stars for a reason

🚶 Access & Comfort
The listing flags this pass as wheelchair accessible, and that structured badge is what the operator states — but the Forum and Palatine are archaeological terrain, so confirm the accessible route with the site before you go. Duration is not specified because you set it yourself: the pass covers the Forum, Palatine and Imperial Forum, and walking all of it comfortably takes hours across uneven ancient paving and a climb up the Palatine. There is no shade for long stretches of the Forum, which matters in Roman summer. Group size does not apply — this is an independent entry ticket, not a group departure, so nothing about your pace depends on other people.
ℹ️ Practical Info
- Meeting Point: None — this is an entry pass, not a guided departure. You go directly to the Roman Forum entrance with your timed ticket; the listing does not specify which gate, so check your confirmation.
- What to Bring: Your smartphone and headphones for the audio guide app, plus the booking confirmation containing the app access instructions.
- Best Time: The listing does not specify a recommended slot; the Palatine climb and the open Forum are hottest in mid-afternoon.
🤫 Insider Tip
Download and test the audio guide app before you reach the entrance — Forum mobile signal is patchy, and unlike headset-based tours (which fail across 125 verified reviews for exactly these structural reasons) here the app *is* the entire commentary. Once inside with no audio and no guide, you are looking at unlabelled ruins.
ColosseumRoman Editorial Review
5
★★★★★ColosseumRoman Rating
“Twenty-five dollars covers Forum, Palatine Hill, and Colosseum archaeological area entry. The ticket pairs with a downloadable audio guide app you install and listen to on your own phone, using your own headphones. Note that this is a self-guided product with no live guide, so no one is on hand to answer questions or manage the frequent queues at the Forum entrances; the Super Pass also excludes the Colosseum arena and interior, which requires a separate timed ticket. Smart choice for: independent travelers who prefer setting their own pace across the ruins and want narration on demand rather than a scheduled group walk.”

❓ Frequently Asked Questions
Does this ticket include the Colosseum?▾
No. The Forum Super Pass covers the Roman Forum, Palatine Hill, the Imperial Forum and the restricted S.U.P.E.R. sites only. If you want the amphitheatre, you need a separate Colosseum ticket.
Is there a live guide on this tour?▾
No — the commentary is a digital audio guide app you run on your own phone, with access instructions sent in your booking confirmation. Nobody accompanies you, so there is no one to ask questions.
How long do I need for everything included?▾
The listing does not specify a duration because the pass is self-paced. Covering the Forum, the Museum of the Roman Forum, the Palatine and its museum plus the S.U.P.E.R. interiors realistically takes several hours of walking.
What are the S.U.P.E.R. sites I get with this pass?▾
The House of Augustus, House of Livia, Domus Tiberiana, Santa Maria Antiqua, the Temple of Romulus, the Curia Iulia and the Aula Isiaca with the Loggia Mattei. These are the roofed and frescoed spaces a standard €18 ticket leaves closed.
Is it wheelchair accessible?▾
The operator flags the product as wheelchair accessible. Because the Forum and Palatine involve uneven ancient paving and a hill climb, confirm the accessible route and any lift access for individual S.U.P.E.R. sites directly with the operator before booking.
Can I visit the sites over more than one day?▾
The listing does not state the pass validity window. Check your confirmation or ask the operator before planning a split visit across two days.
