Our tips for Colosseum
- Think ahead - lines are lengthy at this Roman attraction. You can get Colosseum tickets with skip the line and guided tours, and is a handy way to explore more of this rich historical site and learn epic tales of the times.
- Evening Rome-ing. It firmly closes its doors to visitors an hour from sundown, which can be as early as five in winter. The arena’s facade is particularly beautiful at night, however. Take yourself down to one of the nearby restaurants and enjoy the amphitheater’s grand exterior, alfresco style.
- Tread carefully. These ancient ruins have uneven surfaces and wonky paths. On your Rome Colosseum tours, watch your step and wear comfortable shoes to avoid any trip-ups.

- The first games were held as a celebration of the Colosseum’s opening in 80AD. They lasted 100 days and saw the slaughtering of some 5000 animals.
- The Colosseum was first known as the Flavian Amphitheatre after the Vespasian’s family who planned the build. It’s name was later changed to recognise the Colosso di Nerone, a giant bronze statue (around 30 metres in height) of Nero that stood nearby.
- Following the fall of the Roman Empire, the Colosseum was used as a castle, cemetery and even a housing complex through the Middle Ages. It later fell into disrepute until restoration efforts began in the late 1900’s. Grab your tickets now to learn more about this epic, legendary landmark.
