  • The tour might start 20 minutes before or after. We will promptly notify any time changes.
  • Colosseum, Roman Forum, and Palatine Hill can undergo partial or total closures for security reasons or public events
  • Starting from October 18, 2023, nominative tickets have been introduced for the Colosseum. All guests must have an ID with them and show it at the venue entrance. The names provided must match the names on the IDs. Providing incorrect names will result in denied entry and no refund will be due
