Colosseum
Arena Floor option
Begin at the Roman Forum and Palatine Hill with your licensed guide — walk the ruins of temples and imperial palaces that were the beating heart of ancient Rome. Then continue to the Colosseum for exclusive access to the Arena Floor, the historic stage where gladiators once fought before 50,000 spectators. Private group. Must book minimum 5 days in advance.
