It pays to be young in Rome this August
To combat the travel lull Rome typically experiences in August, the city is offering some fantastic deals to lure travelers. The catch? You must be under 30 years old to get the special prices.
Head to any tourist office in Rome, show proof that you're between 18 and 29 years old, pick up your free promo card and use it to get discounts all over the city. 32 restaurants are offering special menus that range from 5 to 25 Euros, with the average price being around 10 Euros for 2-3 courses. Common menus may include pizza or pasta and dessert or a drink. You'll get deals on accommodations as well, with over 50 b&bs and 20 hotels offering significant discounts.
The card will get you a Roma Pass for 21 Euros instead of 23. The pass is good for 3 days and gets you free travel on city buses and the Underground, and covers admission to 2 museums (after that you can use it to get discounts to other attractions). You'll also get 10% off at all city-owned museums and 5 Euros off the 20 Euro open-topped bus tour.
