The visit to the Flavian Amphitheater (Colosseum) is an essential part of the tour in the capital: it is no coincidence that it is the most famous monument in Rome and in the whole world. Here the gladiators challenged each other in deadly fights and the condemned were killed by hungry beasts. This great symbol of eternal Rome still stimulates the imagination, judging by the long lines that form at the entrance. Visiting the Colosseum is an experience with a capital L. It catapults you back in time, into that pulsating past that is still tangible in Rome.

Colosseum, tickets and information on the Archaeological Park: the visit to the Colosseum, the Imperial Forum and the Palatine costs 16 euros (and 2 euros reduced). Buying tickets online reservations and inside the Colosseum are easier and you avoid the long lines in front of the complex.
