The Colosseum in Rome: Complete Visitor Guide

History of the Colosseum

The Flavian Amphitheatre, known as the Colosseum, was built between 70 and 80 AD. At its peak, it could hold up to 80,000 spectators.

How to skip the queue

Queues at the Colosseum can reach 3–4 hours. The only way to avoid them is to book tickets online in advance or join a guided tour.

What to include in your itinerary

The Roman Forum and Palatine Hill are right next to the Colosseum. We recommend a combined ticket to visit all three in one day.
