what you'll experience

  • Make the Colosseum your own

    Step away from the crowds into a more personal Colosseum experience shaped around you. Move at your pace, pause where you feel drawn, and let your guide follow your curiosity through the monument. 
  • Choose your perspective inside the Colosseum

    Stand on the main levels and take in the sweep of arches, or step onto the Arena Floor and feel the monument rise around you. One opens the view across the amphitheatre, the other places you right at its centre.
  • Step onto the Arena Floor like a gladiator (Arena option)

    Pass through the Gladiators’ Gate and step onto the Arena Floor where the games took place. Feel the gladiator’s perspective as the tiers rise around you, and imagine the cheers of the crowd all around.
  • Experience the Colosseum in just one hour 

    In just 60 minutes, take in the Colosseum’s scale, stories, and atmosphere without feeling overwhelmed. Focused and easy to fit into your day, it leaves you with a strong sense of place that lingers long after.
  • Keep exploring ancient Rome afterward

    Step back out and continue into the Roman Forum and Palatine Hill, where temples, senate houses, and open paths lead into imperial Rome. Wander freely through the heart of its political and public life.
