Colosseum

Colosseum

Colosseum visitors recommended opting for a tour guide (many endorsed those offered by Viator), with some saying it gives more context, providing a richer experience than simply viewing the structure (you'll find little public information or exhibits if you tour the site yourself). Other travelers specifically suggest taking a night tour to beat the crowds.

The Colosseum is open daily at 8:30 a.m. until varying times, from 4:30 to 7 p.m., depending on the season, and you can find it off the Colosseo metro stop. To avoid long wait times, purchase your ticket in advance online. Ticket prices start at 12 euros (or about $15) for adults and 7.50 euros (around $9) for kids. If you purchased a Roma Pass, your admission fee is covered.
