Colosseum Arena Floor Tour with Roman Forum & Palatine Hill
About This Tour
Experience Ancient Rome from one of the most remarkable viewpoints inside the Colosseum on this guided tour combining special Arena Floor access, the Roman Forum and Palatine Hill.
This experience goes beyond a traditional Colosseum visit by giving you the opportunity to enter through the area associated with the gladiators and step directly onto the Arena Floor.
Nearly 2,000 years ago, gladiators and fighters entered this part of the amphitheater before appearing in front of thousands of spectators. Today, you'll have the opportunity to stand in the same arena and experience the Colosseum from an entirely different perspective.
Accompanied by a professional guide, discover how the amphitheater operated, the types of spectacles held here and the role gladiators played in Imperial Roman society.
From the Arena Floor, you'll also gain a fascinating perspective of the interior structure of the Colosseum and better understand how the enormous spectacles of Ancient Rome were organized.
After exploring the Colosseum, continue to the Roman Forum, once the political, religious and social heart of the ancient city.
Walk among the remains of temples, public buildings, monuments and gathering places while learning about the events and personalities that shaped Roman history.
The experience continues to Palatine Hill, one of Rome's legendary seven hills and a site closely associated with the origins of the city. Over time, it became one of the most prestigious residential areas of Ancient Rome, home to emperors and members of the Roman elite.
Its elevated location also offers impressive views across the Roman Forum and Rome's archaeological area.
With approximately 2.5 to 3 hours of guided exploration, this tour combines three essential Ancient Rome sites with its defining feature: the opportunity to walk on the Colosseum Arena Floor.
For travelers from the United States and Canada searching for Colosseum Arena Floor tickets, guided Colosseum tours or the best Ancient Rome experiences in Rome, this tour provides a premium alternative to a standard Colosseum visit.
