The Colosseum: Beyond the Arena

★ 5

An immersive historical tour for adults. You find yourself in Rome in the year 190 and walk the path of a spectator at the ancient games.

You look for real details inside the Colosseum, decipher inscriptions, place bets on gladiators, work out the hidden machinery of the arena and make decisions along with the crowd. Live a single day in Ancient Rome and discover how the Colosseum managed people better than any modern show.

Useful tips

Best time

Morning or the first half of the day: fewer people, and two hours leave you plenty of time to finish the route before the Colosseum closes at 6 p.m.

What to bring

A smartphone with the tour downloaded in advance, headphones, a power bank and comfortable shoes — the route is around 2 km, roughly 2,500 steps.

Age of participants

The storyline is written for adults and teenagers aged 16 and over — younger children will enjoy the family tours around the Colosseum and the historic centre.

The Colosseum entrance ticket is not included in the price

Buy your ticket in advance on the official website. The Colosseum is open daily except on public holidays — plan your visit ahead so you do not have to queue.
