Good overall experience, the application fulfilled its role, the people were welcoming at the meeting point. Please note that there is no physical audioguide, but a headout application for the Colosseum (which perhaps deserves a little more detail).

The tickets were working and the ladies at the center were polite, but the queue was very long and although we came 20 minutes before or time we barely made it to the beginning of the video. Which by the way you can skip, it's nothing interesting, waste of time. Otherwise all good.

The Colosseum and the Roman Forum are two must-see attractions in Rome. They are worth a visit! Personally I think that in low season, we went in March, you can buy the combined ticket directly at the Roman Forum, as there is little queue and it is cheaper. At the Colosseum there is a longer queue.

The glory of the Colosseum

The Colosseum is one of Italy’s most popular destinations. Believed to have been constructed as a gift from the ancient emperors to the Roman people, this grand outdoor amphitheater once served as an epicenter for entertainment, hosting various public spectacles and games. A stage for gladiator fights, often including animals, the Colosseum has quite the bloody past. Step back in time, marvel at the impressive architecture, and walk the floor of the greatest arena known to mankind.

Marvel at the Roman Forum & Palatine Hill

Your Colosseum ticket also includes entry to the Palatine Hill and Roman Forum. Head to the Roman Forum and travel back in time as you walk along the same paths as the ancient Romans did. You’ll get a chance to witness popular sites including the Temple of Antoninus Pius, Temple of Castor and Pollux, Temple of Saturn, Arch of Septimius Severus, and much more.

Palatine Hill offers one of the best views of the city. Here, the lush Farnese Gardens offer a peaceful escape from the crowds. Relax amidst manicured terraces, statues, and panoramic views of the Roman Forum and Colosseum. Once considered the most desirable neighborhood in Rome, Palatine Hill lives on as an extensive archaeological site and was the chosen spot for Emperors to build their homes. To enhance your experience, you can step into the walls of the Mamertine Prison with a ticket upgrade, and learn about the foes of Rome once imprisoned here.
