FAQ – Frequently Asked Questions

Where to buy tickets for the Colosseum?

Tickets for the Colosseum can be purchased

online
on the official website
at the ticket office

The Colosseum has a maximum daily admission limit. For this reason, it is not advisable to buy tickets directly at the ticket office in front of the monument. Booking online will ensure that you will have access to the Colosseum at the requested date and time.

Buying tickets online to visit the Colosseum is the ideal solution:

to avoid the long lines that are usually created at the entrance of the famous monument in Rome
to ensure access and to avoid the tickets available at the ticket office running out

P.s. In addition to ordinary tickets with priority access that can be purchased online, it is also possible to buy tours that offer not only privileged access to the Colosseum, but also an educational and personalised tour accompanied by an expert guide.

Should I book tickets for the Colosseum in advance?

We strongly recommend that you book your tickets in advance. This will prevent us from going to the Colosseum ticket office and regretfully realising that the tickets are sold out.

Can the Roma Pass be used for the Colosseum?

Certainly! The Colosseum is the main attraction included in the Roma Pass package. For more details, visit the Roma Pass page.

Is it worth buying a tour?

Visiting a monument like the Colosseum, St Peter’s Basilica or the Sistine Chapel without a guide risks missing details that could be very interesting. An experienced guide can tell us tales and anecdotes of ancient Rome and ensure that our visit to the monument is an enjoyable and stimulating cultural experience, without neglecting moments of entertainment.

Is access to the arena included in the regular ticket?

Access to the arena is not included in the standard ticket. Arena access is available by selecting the skip-the-line ticket for Colosseum and Arena + Roman Forum and Palatine.

Is underground access included in the standard ticket?

You need to buy the combined ticket “Colosseum and Arena + Roman Forum and Palatine underground tour” to get access to the underground. This ticket also offers access to the arena and a dedicated tour guide.
