The centerpiece of this tour is the mighty Colosseum, situated in the heart of ancient Rome. This iconic symbol of Roman engineering and entertainment has stood the test of time, offering visitors a glimpse into the gladiatorial contests and public spectacles that once captivated audiences.
The Colosseum was not merely an arena but a vibrant social hub of ancient Rome. The structure was designed to hold tens of thousands of spectators, each tier offering a different perspective on the bloody entertainment that defined much of Roman public life.
The architectural design of the Colosseum reflects both the ingenuity and the aesthetic sensibility of the Roman Empire. Its elliptical shape enhanced visibility and acoustics, allowing spectators from all backgrounds to partake in the city’s grand events.
The Colosseum also served as a stage for mythological reenactments, executions, and dramas, making it a complex symbol of Roman culture and justice. The virtual reality components of the tour highlight these aspects, offering a panoramic view of its historical significance.
Begin your journey at the designated meeting point, Via di San Gregorio, where you will be given your VR headset. Make sure to have your digital ticket ready for a smooth entry. The virtual reality elements begin as you enter each site, fully immersing you in the ancient world.

It was great to have prepaid tickets but the crowds of people was unreal. There were no staff to tell people where to go. We still had to queue to get in but overall a fantastic experience.

The organization could be better, but the VR experience more than made up for it. A unique way to see the Colosseum.
