“Il pacchetto comprendeva il Museo del Mosaico, che attualmente è in restauro e la "Fortezza d'Europa che è raggiungibile dopo aver cambiato tre metro e, in aggiunta, aver preso la funicolare!Quindi non sono riuscita a visitare questi luoghi di alto interesse!A parte questi motivi di disappunto, il pass è vantaggioso e aiuta a smaltire la fila ai musei rapidamente.Lo consiglio a chi ama musei e siti culturali”
