Advice and info
The Colosseum is open every day, with varying hours depending on the season. During the summer, the hours are from 9:00 to 19:15, while in the winter months it closes around 16:30.
The average duration of the visit is about 1-2 hours, depending on how much time you wish to spend exploring.
Visiting the Colosseum is one of the main activities in the city of Rome, which is why it is easy to find long queues at the site to get tickets, especially in the middle of the day. Remember that Rome is in all months of the year taken by storm by tourists. Even if you try to go early in the morning or late in the afternoon to avoid long lines, you risk waiting for a long time (the average wait lasts between 45 and 60 minutes). One of the best ways to avoid long queues is to buy your tickets online, choosing between priority entrance and guided tours.
The best time to visit the Colosseum is in the morning at the time of opening, between 8.30 and 10.30 am, or in the late afternoon between 5 and 7 pm. It takes at least two hours, approximately, to visit.
Here are some options for buying tickets to visit the Colosseum, one of the most popular attractions in Rome and all of Italy. In some of these options you also have the possibility to visit the nearby Roman Forum and Palatine. The Roman Forum and Palatine, in fact, are located right in front of the Colosseum, and to see them from the outside without being able to enter them would be a real shame. So not only priority entrance and skip-the-line tickets, but real experiences created ad hoc.
Yes, the Colosseum is accessible with prams and pushchairs, but some areas may have restricted access.
