Travellagio · Last checked September 2026 · We revisit this page whenever rules change
Rome remains one of the world’s most historically dense cities to visit. Here’s what’s current for 2026.
Entry & visa status
Italy is in the Schengen Area; most Western passport holders enter visa-free for up to 90 days — no change here.
What’s changed recently
Colosseum and Vatican Museum ticketing has continued to shift toward mandatory advance online booking during peak season, making same-day entry increasingly unreliable without pre-booked tickets.
