Visiting the Capitoline Museums was a real treat. There were so many beautiful, famous exhibits and works of art. I just had to go back to the tourist center to get my tickets.

A lovely lady helped us at the meeting point, she has a great attitude/vibe! The video was good. We loved the skip the line tickets at the Capitoline Museum which was magnificent. We enjoyed every moment of our visit to this museum. To top it off, the light bite, and glass of wine at the rooftop inside terrace was perfect. The staff were first class (both waiters), and the food was delicious, not to mention the outstanding view.

I highly recommend the Headout experience. From booking the ticket to receiving the digital copy, everything was very simple and convenient. The Capitoline Museums are fantastic, and we happened to catch a beautiful Cartier exhibition featuring Greek myths. I recommend booking tickets in advance to avoid long lines. Although when I went, it was pretty quiet.

Skip the long lines with timed entry to the world’s first public museum, the Musei Capitolini, and dive straight into centuries of Roman history.

Find out about Rome’s rich past through a collection of famous sculptures and paintings, including the legendary bronze she-wolf.

Explore the Cartier and Myths exhibition at Palazzo Nuovo, on view until March 15, 2026, featuring 200 mythology-inspired Cartier pieces alongside ancient marble sculptures.

Wander through Renaissance-era palazzos, filled with Rome’s most significant art and artifacts, all while enjoying breathtaking views of the Roman Forum.

Upgrade your experience with a host, a multimedia video or a Happy Hour ticket—enjoy a free drink at Terrazza Caffarelli while taking in one of the best views of the city!

It was very easy to get my tickets and audio guides. I'm not giving it a higher rating because the audio wasn't really a guided tour—it was like reading Wikipedia. I was expecting explanations for at least half of the works, presented in some kind of order so I could understand what I was looking at at any given moment.

Didn't use it because numbers on room signs did not match the headset commentary. I gave up and just took photos. Useless technology, even more useless human coordination.
