Bien. Facilité d'emploi. Je m'inquiétais pour l'heure fixée car on était en retard de 15 min mais ils laissaient passer tous ceux qui avaient un flashcode. L'audio guide ne m'a pas apporté grand chose car je n'avais pas de bons écouteurs et que les commentaires n'étaient pas terribles. Par contre, c'était super de pouvoir faire le palatin et le forum le lendemain. On en a vraiment profité. Il est bon de savoir qu'il y a une billetterie aussi à l'entrée du forum où il y a très peu de queue.

We were let down by another ticket provider 24hours before our visit. We searched and found this as an alternative and it was all perfect. Thanks for saving our Colosseum trip!

Wir haben uns für das Kolosseum bevorzugte Eintrittstickets gekauft, um nicht in der Schlange zu stehen. Das hat super funktioniert. Was jedoch anzumerken ist, man braucht auch wirklich nicht viel früher als die angegebene Zeit vorher dort zu sein, sielassen einen nicht rein. Da wir die Zeit um 17 Uhr hatten, waren wir am Tag darauf im Forum Romanum und Palatinhügel. Hier muss erwähnt werden, dass es keinen bevorzugten Eintritt gibt und man in der Schlange steht. Das finde ich etwas schade bzw. nicht gut angeschrieben, wir haben jedoch Glück gehabt und waren recht zeitig dort. Wie wir gegangen sind, war die Schlange wesentlich länger.

It took at least 30 mins to GET THE TICKETS FROM THE TICKET OFFICE, the line was not too long but the efficiency of the ticket-people was terribly poor. The instructions said to arrive 15mins before the booked tour time, but this was not enough. Once we got the ticket we were able to get in to the museum and to Colosseum just as planned, without queueing too much ( with our fast track tickets)

Grandiose, l'immensité, l'étendue des 3 sites. Nous en avons pris plein les yeux. Gratuité pour les mineurs, sans aucune difficulté, en le presisant en présentantles tickets. Dommage que Headout ne le spécifie pas au moment des réservations. Tickets reçus sur le site, fonctionnent avec le téléphone, p1s besoin de les imprimer.

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.
