Had imagined more of it, took 72 hour ticket but only used 2x and besides, in Rome center where all the sights are almost everything is walkable.

Uncomplicated booking. Good overview of the various offers. And of course the fact that you can hop on and off as you please. Free headphones and route plan on the bus

Really a good way to start a trip in Rome. It was a little difficult to find the bus stop, and the operator tried to get me to buy another ticket the next day, even though the one I had was still valid. The stop at the Vatican was really far from the Basilica. But that a side, it was over all a good trip.
