Despite the pillage of natural disasters, fires, pollution and wars, it is a living proof of the stunning architecture and strong masonry of ancient world, and has served as a model for stadiums around the world. Explore Michelangelo’s staircase to reach the Campidoglio – the beautiful piazza outside the Capitoline Museums or visit the arena floor and be amazed by the magnitude of the Amphitheatre.Note: Your Colosseum ticket can only be used on the first day of your hop-on, hop-off tour.

Great way to get around Romne
Brad Kelln, United States, 26/Jul/2019 -
Was really disappointed when we got on the bus to find out there was no colosseum tickets available...even though we had purchased this skip the line ticket. Thankfully the lady on our bus managed to get us on a tour for a bit extra money. Wasn’t ideal but the tour was worth it and the buses were a great way of getting around Rome.
