Practical information

Bring a valid ID if you are a resident in the metropolitan area: civic museum free admission is granted upon presentation of proof of residence. Opening hours can change due to holidays or temporary closures; check official pages of each venue before you go.

Tip: pair a central visit with a peripheral stop (for example Tor Pignattara or the Aventino Rose Garden) to make the most of free access without entrance fees.
