Combo (Save 16%): Colosseum with Arena Access + Castel Sant'Angelo Tickets

Visit two of Rome's crown jewels with this one ticket: the Colosseum, as well as the Castel Sant'Angelo. Both have played a fundamental part in shaping the history of Rome!

The Colosseum

As one of Italy’s most popular destinations, the Colosseum brings in over 5 million visitors every year. It is believed that the ancient emperors created it as a gift to the Roman people. This grand outdoor amphitheater once served as the epicenter for entertainment, hosting public spectacles and games. The exhibitions of exotic animals, executions of prisoners, and gladiator fights kept the Roman people entertained for years here at the Colosseum. Step back in time, marvel at the impressive architecture, and walk the floor of the greatest arena known to mankind. Your ticket also includes entry to the Palatine Hill and Roman Forum. Tour popular sites such as the Temple of Antoninus Pius, the Arch of Septimius Severus, and more. Palatine Hill, on the other hand, was once considered the most desirable neighborhood in Rome. Today it lives on as an extensive archaeological site.

Castel Sant'Angelo

Built in AD 135–139 by Emperor Hadrian as a mausoleum for himself and his family, the Castel Sant'Angelo has had quite an interesting history. In the Middle Ages, it was transformed into a fortress and over the next 10 centuries served as a military building and a place of refuge for popes during the sieges in 1527. Explore the museum here and get a sneak peek into Roman history and architecture. Divided into five floors that are connected by a spiral ramp, you will have access to the chamber of ashes, and the cells in which many historical figures were incarcerated. You will also see beautifully decorated rooms that acted as a Papal residence and an extensive collection of ancient weapons. Make your way to the large terrace on the top floor, where you can wrap up your experience with stunning, panoramic views of Rome.
