P.za del Colosseo, 1, 00184 Roma RM, Italy

Turns out… the Roman Colosseum is just like the sugar cube version of itself that I built for Latin class in 2001. Pretty big, kinda sorta falling apart. The history that took place within these walls is simply unfathomable.

Long lines to get in, a bunch of people milling about, there were even tv trucks parked outside. The OG stadium really does have everything.

How did I get in?

I booked through a tour operator I found on Viator. Tickets tend to sell out from the official site very quickly, so a 3rd party operator might be your only bet by the time you have your schedule firmed up. Do your best to find “Skip the Line” tickets if you can.
