Good for 3 days of bus/train transportation and admission into 2 museums.

Notes
Grants free access to two museums and discounted access to additional museums. It also includes free public transportation for 3 days. 23 euro per person. It does not include access to the Vatican but it would cover the Coliseum. Plus you can skip the ticket lines.

I've thought this over a bit and I decided against getting these.

Reserved! It is very close to the Vatican, has a lift, A/C, beautiful rooms...plus it only has three rooms so we would be the only ones there. Got excellent reviews on Venere.com and TripAdvisor.com. Credit card payment on arrival.

Good article about avoiding the lines. We can probably get away with not buying advanced tickets since we are going on the afternoon of the least busiest day (Thursday). I'm a little nervous about this...but, hey, when in Rome.
