Colosseum Arena, Roman Forum & Palatine hill Entrance Tickets
Description
Probably the most famous monument in the world and a symbol of the greatness of Rome, the Flavian Amphitheater, better known as the Colosseum, which took the name from the colossal bronze statue of Nero that was nearby. With the choice to access the Arena floor, explore the amphitheater stage where once games between gladiators, simulations of hunting wild and exotic animals, and naval battles where held. After visiting colosseum, the next attraction you want to visit is the roman forum. The tickets also include the access to Roman Forum and Palatine Hill. Stroll through the Palatine Hill, where Rome's wealthy elite once resided, and marvel at the panoramic views over the Eternal City. Next, walk thorough the Roman Forum: From the beginning of 6th century BC various monuments were built in this valley: at first, the buildings for political, religious and commercial activities, then the civil basilicas where judicial activities took place, during the second century BC.

Climb the Palatine Hill, where emperors and aristocrats resided, which relative to the seven hills of Rome is the centremost, is one of the most ancient parts of the city; it has been called "the first nucleus of the Roman Empire". The site is now mainly a large open-air museum whilst the Palatine Museum houses many finds from the excavations here and from other ancient Italian sites. Explore the extensive ruins of opulent palaces and gardens that offer a glimpse into the lavish lifestyle of Rome's elite.

To go to Rome, not see the Colosseum would be a huge mistake. Access to the arena floor made the trip.
Quick, easy and a great ticket. The queue was quite long for those waiting, we breezed in. Very efficient staff
I booked these tickets for today Oct 20, however the tickets that were sent to me are for Oct 21, which we found out after standing in line this morning
So disorganized, ticket did not include a good enough description of what to do/look out for, on what it says is included it said not tour or guide and I get there and we do have an audio guide/ bit I did not have head phones. There is no reason as to why it needs to be as chaotic as it is.
Hi Kelly H, Please not that you have visited one of the worlds ancient monument during high season and in addition during the Jubilee Celebrations in Rome, how can you expect easy walk through without crowd. We have provided all the information required to visit the Colosseum and other attraction, sorry we cannot provide whole movie along with the tickets. As you said it would be like watching everything online, then why to visit a place when you have everything online. You have booked for self-guided tour, which means you opted to explore yourself.
Incredible to know this monument, and the living history of the Romans. The interesting is the complement to the Coliseum which is the Palatino and Roman Forum, as they are spectacular.
It was incredible to see the Roman Colosseum, explore the arena floor, and my favorite the Palatine Hill, where you can take in breathtaking 360° views of the entire area. The photo opportunities are amazing! I do wish our package had included access to the underground arena, but overall, it was an unforgettable experience.
It was a very good experience, super fast entry with minimal row and we could appreciate all the Colosseum and the Roman forum
There was a lot of scaffolding around major landmarks to prepare for the 2025 Jubilee year. The Colosseum was unaffected. However, The Forum was. Still a great day. Large press of people highly recommend purchasing tickets ahead of time
One of the reasons we chose this is because of the special "Gladiator Gate" entrance with the Arena Floor Access add-on. When we got there, it was not at all clear where this gate was. We followed the crowds of people and found what seemed to be the main entrance. I asked one of the ticket takers where the "gladiator gate" was and she practically laughed at me. She said there was no such thing and it was a name given by the ticket seller. She said that we were in the correct line (the main one). As it was November, the lines weren't super long, but we still waited in line for about 20 minutes. When we finally got to the area to access the arena floor, we saw an entrance gate right there with no line. It appeared to be the gate we should/could have used. While 20 minutes might not seem like a lot, every minute counts when you only have 4 hours in the city - including time to get to and from the train station. They really should provide some kind of directions on where to go upon arriving at the Colosseum. Overall, the tickets served their purpose and, of course, we thoroughly enjoyed both the Colosseum and wandering (albeit quickly!) about the Forum and Palatine Hill. It's the perfect solution if, like us, you've come in on a cruise ship and don't have time to comfortably schedule an excursion (other than one from the cruise line that tend to be very expensive.)
