Choose the time of your visit carefully, as the site can understandably get very busy. Enjoyed being able to look round this site, but there perhaps needs to be a limit on the numer of visitors on-s… Full review by jmcanning

The stories of gladiators came alive as we walked through the arches. Skip-the-line tickets were a lifesaver! The upper levels offered spectacular views of both the arena and the Roman Forum. Definit… Full review by Lanny F

Q:
We are looking for an in-depth (live, not audio) guided tour of the Colosseum including Belvedere terrace, imperial balcony, arena floor, and underground. I can’t figure out if each area is a separate ticket or not. I found shore excursions from Civitavecchia that visit different parts of the colosseum like seating area and terraces, or the arena floor and gladiators gate, or underground, ranging 85€ - 150€, lasting 7 hours. All include palatine hill and the forum. We’re not interested in the other sites in the area, as we visited them on a prior visit. We just want to spend a few hours exploring the colosseum. I appreciate any guidance or recommendations you can give in figuring this out.

Hi - My wife and I took a live small group tour (6 people) of the Colosseum through LivTours which was excellent!! During the tour the guide (she did an excellent job explaining everything) explained that although we were going to see the arena, balcony, arena floor, etc. we could not go to the Underground. The reason is that only the company that controls access to the Colosseum sells tickets to the Underground (low number of tickets). Since we only wanted to see the Colosseum one part of the day, the tour we took was excellent!! We took a separate Vatican small group tour through the same company (LivTours) which also was great. Unless you strongly want to see the Underground, the type of tour we took may be a great choice. (We do not receive any credit or money from the tour company - they just did a great job for us.)

Be aware that NO third party tour operator has March 2025 tickets in hand right now. So if you make a reservation now, you are buying an IOU and not actual tickets. Sure, when tickets are released, the third party tour operator will try to find tickets for you to fulfill the order, but there are lots of complaints from customers who booked 6+ months in advance and then receive a cancellation email about a week before their trip to Rome because the company they bought from could not secure tickets. To avoid this type of issue, book direct through the official website - the official website sells both guided tours as well as entry tickets to the Underground.

Q:
We will be in Rome on a Sunday and Monday. We will have to visit the Colosseum on Sunday and it happens to be the first Sunday of the month. I just found out that first Sundays are free admissiont to the Colosseum (probably not the best day, but that's what it is). I was wondering if anyone know if it is still possible to book online for the first Sunday of the month, or if tickets are only available at the site on a first come first serve basis. Appreciate any help or suggestions.

There are no advance tickets on first Sundays - you queue up and wait in line to enter. Be aware that many of the "extra" areas of the Colosseum are closed on that day - the …

There are no advance tickets on first Sundays - you queue up and wait in line to enter. Be aware that many of the "extra" areas of the Colosseum are closed on that day - the Underground, the Arena Floor, and the Attic (Upper Levels) are all closed. Further, the Super Sites in the Roman Forum + Palatine Hill are also closed on that day.

You don't indicate which app you are talking about. I will assume you are talking about the park's MyColosseum app. Besides the official app, there are several other apps to download audioguides - both paid and free. One popular free app is Rick Steves. If you would rather pay for one, Context Tours allow you to download audioguides of various attractions for a fee. Regarding the physical devices, the last I heard they were still available on site but they were planning on phasing them out.

A:
No ticket will allow you to visit all areas of the Colosseum. The general admission ticket allows you to visit Level 1 and Level 2. There are various Full Experience tickets - the Attic (Levels 3, 4 and 5), the Underground (Level 0) and the Arena Floor. Those tickets allow you to visit one of those areas (the area named on the ticket) plus the general admission areas.
