Highlights
Discover the Colosseum’s regular-access levels with two ways to visit: follow a guided route or enjoy more freedom to explore at your own pace. Choose the 1-h Guided Tour to enter the Colosseum with your guide and follow a complete guided route through its main levels. It’s the best choice if you want your guide by your side inside the monument, bringing its history and stories to life as you explore. Choose the 45-minute Intro + Independent Visit for more freedom inside the Colosseum. Your guide will first give you a thorough introduction, bringing the history and highlights to life, then you’ll enter on your own with your included ticket and explore the main levels at your own pace. Unlike a guided visit inside, you won’t be tied to a fixed route or group, so you can move around freely and stay as long as you wish. Both options include Colosseum access to the main levels and entry to the Roman Forum. Arena, Underground and upper-level access are not included.

Itinerary

Once inside, walk in the Arena floor through the notorious “Porta Libitinaria”. See the backstage of the most famous games in Ancient Rome and walk the steps of the Gladiators before the fights. Be surprised by the behind-the-scene logistics and technology. Learn about the innovative building techniques used by the ancient Roman engineers.

About Rome
Rome layers nearly three thousand years of history into one walkable city, from the Colosseum and Forum to Baroque piazzas and Vatican art.
Ancient Rome is still in plain sight. The Colosseum, the Roman Forum and the Palatine Hill sit together at the city's heart, the Pantheon still stands with its open oculus, and fragments of temples and aqueducts turn up between apartment blocks. Across the Tiber, Vatican City holds St Peter's Basilica, the Vatican Museums and Michelangelo's Sistine Chapel ceiling.
Top-ranked sights in Rome: Colosseum, Vatican Museums, Sistine Chapel.
