Museum Express bus line connects Rome's top museums
Carrani Tours, known for its panoramic buses in Rome, has launched the Museum Express, a dedicated bus line connecting ten of the city's major museums and cultural venues. The route includes the Vatican Museums, Capitoline Museums, Galleria Nazionale di Arte Antica at Palazzo Barberini, Museo Nazionale Romano, Galleria Borghese, Museo Etrusco di Valle Giulia, MAXXI, and the Auditorium. Operated under the Gray Line – I Love Rome brand in collaboration with SIT (Società Italiana Trasporti), the service uses a hop-on-hop-off formula and allows passengers to purchase museum tickets onboard. The pink line runs daily from 9 am to 5 pm with a frequency of 30 minutes, aiming to connect central and peripheral art hubs like the Flaminio district and Villa Borghese more efficiently.
