Colosseum Arena Tour with Palatine Hill & Roman Forum expand_more
- Unlike regular tours of the Colosseum, our Colosseum Arena Tour gets you straight inside the ancient amphitheater and out onto the arena floor through the Gladiator’s Gate. This is the route the gladiators themselves took almost 2,000 years ago. Imagine the moment they left the gates, and were greeted by the cheers and jeers of 50,000 bloodthirsty spectators.
- Your expert guide will transport you back in time to the height of the Roman Empire when the Colosseum was constructed. These were times when Rome was ruled by all-powerful emperors (sometimes wise, sometimes wacky), the city was flooded with exotic riches from around the world, and the Colosseum acted as the city’s main stage for showing off the animals and people that Rome had conquered and captured.
- After a short 30-minute break, we’ll head off on the next part of the tour to discover the luxury residences of Palatine Hill.
- Next, we’ll climb the Palatine Hill, where the ancient city was founded. The Palatine Hill is a real archaeological wonder, home to settlements from the Iron Age to the 16th century. Gaze upon such sites as the Hut of Romulus, Rome’s legendary founder, and the Imperial Palace, where the emperors in their families engaged in ruling, politicking, and scheming. Get your phones and selfie sticks at the ready – you really can’t beat these views!
- Immerse yourself in Roman history in the Forum. The final destination on our skip-the-line tour is the Roman Forum. As the beating heart of ancient Rome, the Roman Forum was once a bustling hub of markets, law courts, temples, and more. It was here that Julius Caesar was cremated, where victorious Triumphs marched with the spoils of Roman conquests, here where two disgraced emperors were murdered in 69 AD, and here where Cicero delivered the speeches that shaped Western culture for centuries.
- When our tour is over, feel free to stay and explore the Forum at your own pace.
