The ruins of the Coliseum are stunning, but you have to know that it is a crowded site and there are a few queues at the entry, at the toilette, at the gift shop. The steps are extremely high which c… Full review by Susana C

Try to get a ticket that includes the underground area. I believe they are released a month in advance and sell out very quickly. Personally, I find the Colosseum too busy to be enjoyable. It's heaving with tourists - understandably - so difficult to 'soak up' anything. You may want to consider visiting Ostia Antica, which is much quieter and more extensive. You can get there by Metro.

Q:
We are looking for an in-depth (live, not audio) guided tour of the Colosseum including Belvedere terrace, imperial balcony, arena floor, and underground. I can’t figure out if each area is a separate ticket or not. I found shore excursions from Civitavecchia that visit different parts of the colosseum like seating area and terraces, or the arena floor and gladiators gate, or underground, ranging 85€ - 150€, lasting 7 hours. All include palatine hill and the forum. We’re not interested in the other sites in the area, as we visited them on a prior visit. We just want to spend a few hours exploring the colosseum. I appreciate any guidance or recommendations you can give in figuring this out.

No ticket will allow you to visit all areas of the Colosseum. The general admission ticket allows you to visit Level 1 and Level 2. There are various Full Experience tickets - the Attic (Levels 3, 4 and 5), the Underground (Level 0) and the Arena Floor. Those tickets allow you to visit one of those areas (the area named on the ticket) plus the general admission areas.
