Enjoy a guided walking tour of Rome's Colosseum!
No visit to Rome would be complete without a visit to the Colosseum. The Colosseum is located in Rome's city center, making it the city's most visited monument.
Rome's Colosseum is an amphitheater built during the reigns of the emperors Vespasian and Titus.
Also known as the Flavian Amphitheater, Rome's Colosseum is the largest amphitheater in the Roman Empire. Completed in 80 A.D., the Colosseum could accommodate between 50,000 and 75,000 spectators.
For over 500 years, the Colosseum in Rome hosted numerous fights within its arena. The Colosseum Games saw the famous gladiators compete in fights to the death. There were also fights against wild animals, often lions, panthers, crocodiles, elephants, hippopotamuses or giraffes brought directly from Africa. Rome's Colosseum arena could even fill with water to set up veritable naval battles in the heart of Rome.
After visiting the Colosseum, your guide will take you to the Roman Forum, the heart of Roman society, via the Palatine and the Sacred Way.
Please note: the Colosseum is currently under renovation, for an indefinite period. Some parts of the Colosseum may be inaccessible to the public due to the work.
