Colosseum, Roman Forum & Palatine Hill with Audioguide App
About this experience
Step into the world's most famous amphitheatre with timed entry tickets to the Colosseum, where gladiators once battled before 50,000 spectators. Your digital audio guide brings ancient Rome to life as you explore the underground chambers and tiered seating that witnessed centuries of combat and spectacle.
Your ticket includes access to Palatine Hill, the legendary birthplace of Rome where emperors built their opulent palaces. Wander through the ruins of imperial residences while taking in panoramic views across the city. Then descend to the Roman Forum, the political and commercial heart of the ancient empire, where senators debated and merchants traded beneath towering columns that still stand today.
This self-paced experience lets you explore three of Rome's most significant archaeological sites at your own rhythm. Choose the arena floor upgrade to walk directly onto the wooden stage where gladiators fought, standing in the exact spot where history's most dramatic battles unfolded.
What to expect
You'll begin at the Colosseum with your timed entry slot, bypassing regular queues to enter Rome's iconic amphitheatre. Download the audio guide app and explore the tiered seating levels while learning about gladiatorial contests and public spectacles. If you've chosen the arena upgrade, you'll access the wooden floor reconstruction where fighters once stood.
After the Colosseum, use your ticket to visit Palatine Hill and walk among the ruins of imperial palaces while enjoying elevated views over the Forum below. Finally, descend into the Roman Forum to explore the remaining columns, arches and temple foundations of ancient Rome's civic centre. The entire experience is self-guided, allowing you to spend as much time as you wish at each location.
