Overview

A visit to the Colosseum with exclusive Arena access offers a unique and exhilarating experience, bringing its rich history to life. The Arena, once the center of grand spectacles, was where gladiators and wild animals battled before thousands of spectators. With Arena access, step directly onto this historic stage, walking in the footsteps of gladiators. From the Arena floor, enjoy unparalleled views of the underground chambers, where fighters and animals waited, as well as the tiered seating that once held the roaring crowd.

An Arena-only ticket lets visitors focus on this iconic area, immersing in its dramatic history without entering the upper levels.

Whether you opt for the full Colosseum experience with Arena access or choose the Arena-only entry, both tickets offer a rare opportunity to closely engage with the history and marvel at ancient Roman engineering.
