Rom: Kolosseum & offizieller Audioguide (optional Arena)

Visiting the Colosseum was one of the highlights of our trip to Rome. Knowing its history made the experience even more meaningful. Standing inside this nearly 2,000-year-old structure and imagining the gladiatorial contests, animal hunts, and public spectacles that once took place here was incredible. The most memorable part was stepping onto the arena floor, where so much history actually happened. It’s one thing to read about ancient Rome, but completely different to stand where these events took place. Palatine Hill and the Roman Forum are great additions to the visit, giving you a glimpse into the homes of emperors and the heart of ancient Roman political, religious, and public life. There is a LOT of walking, uneven ground, stairs, and hills, so wear good walking shoes! Definitely worth visiting if you appreciate history, culture, and ancient civilization. 🇮🇹🏛️❤️

Instructions for collecting tickets was very clear. Map and audio guide was useful. But audio guide was a little confusing at times regarding what to listen to and there were large parts of the tour not covered. I really wanted access to all areas of the colosseum but that ticket does not seem to exist. So just had main access and arena. Disappointed not to be able to access underground.
