About

Would you rather be a spectator or a gladiator?

Enjoy the Colosseum from a very unique perspective. Use a privileged backdoor entrance and get exclusive access directly into the Gladiators’ Arena, not available to regular ticket owners.

Once inside, walk in the Arena floor through the notorious “Porta Libitinaria”. Feel like a Gladiator and journey back to the days of the Roman Empire with a professional archeologist. Marvel at this mighty wonder of ancient engineering and learn about the innovative techniques used to build it. Discover the political and social reasons that led to its construction and hear about the bloody games that took place within it.

After your official tour ends you can stay inside the Colosseum as long as you wish. Then you can either use your tickets to visit the archeological area of the Roman Forums and Palatine Hill on your own or with a guided tour (choose the option you prefer during your booking).

Here, you will walk the paths of the Roman citizens and emperors and immerse into the ruins of ancient temples. Visit the Palatine Hill, where the legend of Romulus and Remus established the foundation of the city. Learn how this beautiful area later became the beating heart of Ancient Rome. Enjoy breathtaking views over the Colosseum and Circus Maximus.
