Your experience
Getting started
Meet your guide and breeze past the queues with timed entry. After a quick security check, step into the Colosseum and get ready to travel back in time.
What to expect
-
The Colosseum – the epic stage of ancient gladiatorial battles – is yours to explore. Follow your expert guide through the seating rows where thousands once gathered, and visit the museum on Level 2, showcasing artifacts from the Colosseum’s past.
-
Then, step onto the Arena Floor—an exclusive vantage point that most visitors don’t get to see. Stand where gladiators once fought, looking up at the towering ruins from the very heart of the amphitheater.
-
After your Colosseum experience, continue your journey through ancient Rome. Stroll through the ruins of the Roman Forum, once the bustling center of Roman life, and ascend Palatine Hill for panoramic views of the city.
