Located at the center of Rome, the Colosseum remains one of the world’s most remarkable architectural feats, symbolizing the ingenuity and ambition of the Roman Empire.
The Colosseum, originally known as the Flavian Amphitheatre, was commissioned by Emperor Vespasian and completed by his son Titus in 80 AD. This colossal structure could hold between 50,000 to 80,000 spectators, hosting gladiatorial contests, public spectacles, and theatrical performances.
The arena was the heart of the Colosseum, where countless gladiators fought for their lives, wild animals prowled for prey, and dramatic recreations of famous battles left audiences in awe.
The architectural design of the Colosseum reflects both functionality and aesthetics, with its series of arches and vaults supporting the massive structure and allowing easy access and exit for thousands of spectators.
Despite the passage of centuries, the Colosseum continues to be a potent symbol of Roman engineering and cultural hegemony, inspiring awe and admiration from millions who visit each year.
Begin your tour at the iconic Piazza del Colosseo, 21. Ensure you have your tickets ready, either printed or available on your smartphone as a QR code. Once gathered, the group will be led by the expert guide, who will provide headsets and instructions on how to maximize your tour experience.

It was great to have prepaid tickets but the crowds of people was unreal. There were no staff to tell people where to go. We still had to queue to get in but overall a fantastic experience.

Good tour, though it felt a bit rushed. Would have liked more time to explore on my own after the guided part.
