We are headed to Rome at the end of Culture Week. Does anyone know if the Coliseum, Borghese Gallery, and Vatican are free or reduced price? We tried setting up reservations for the Borghese on http://www.ticketeria.it but didn't have options for the Week of Culture. Anyone know of a website that might have more info regarding events and prices? Thanks.
the program of the culture week is normally posted on the web site of the Ministero dei Beni Culturali, but it is not yet available. you can check the following page for updates http://www.beniculturali.it/sala/dettaglio-comunicato.asp?nd=ss,cs&Id=2620
as for the vatican museums they are not free in the culture week as they belong to the vatican and not to italy. the vatican museums are normally open mo thru sat (ticket € 13,00) and, for free, on the last sunday of each month (next free opening will be march 30). this is the link to the vatican museums web site: http://mv.vatican.va/3_EN/pages/MV_Home.html
