See the arena through a gladiator's eyes at the Colosseum

The guided tour of the Colosseum lasts about 1 hour. If you choose an option with arena access, you'll pass through the Gladiator's Gate onto the arena floor for about 30 minutes and look down into the underground level where gladiators prepared for combat and wild animals were kept. Entry to the underground level is not included.

Discover daily life in ancient Rome at the Roman Forum

Spend about 1 hour exploring the Roman Forum, once the city's political, social and religious center. Pass the Arch of Titus, the House of the Vestal Virgins, the Basilica of Maxentius, the Temple of Antoninus and Faustina and the Senate House while hearing stories of politics and everyday life from over 2,000 years ago.

Climb Palatine Hill and look out over Rome

Palatine Hill, chosen by Romulus as the site of his new city, later became home to the wealthy and powerful during the Republic. Stroll the hill for about 1 hour, enjoy panoramic views from a lookout point, and finish the tour at the Arch of Constantine.

※ The order of the itinerary may change depending on local conditions.
※ In bad weather, the arena floor may be closed without prior notice.
