The night night walking tour is a must-try of you are in Rome. It was a memorable experience seeing the magical city of Rome at night and our tour guide, Vlad, made it more special. He is an amazing storyteller with a captivating way of sharing Rome’s rich history and hidden gems. He also has a fantastic sense of humor that kept us all engaged and entertained throughout the tour. If you’re in Rome, don’t miss the chance to take this tour- and request for Vlad as your guide! He’s fantastic!

The meeting point was outside the station. After getting the tickets from the tour guide, we went into the arena and walked around. It was considered a service to help buy tickets.

Basically, it is run by The Touring Pandas, a travel agency founded in Barcelona. This tour guide is a Roman who has studied in Shanghai. He has a deep study of the arena and the ancient Roman forum, but his Chinese language skills are a bit difficult for him to respond well. Fast, the speaking speed is too slow for native Chinese speakers, but if there is no one to explain or study in advance, the ancient Roman Forum will be like looking at ruins 😂

It's very convenient, you can enter immediately without queuing at all. Buy the competitive tier to note that you must first enter the competitive tier and come back out then go up to the upper tier, it is no going back. The whole arena is really grand and beautiful.

The place to collect tickets is at the entrance of Notre Dame Church. You can queue up and go in by yourself after receiving the tickets, or wait for someone to take you directly to the entrance every half hour to skip the queue and go in. It’s more expensive than the official ticket price but there is still time to queue, so you can buy it instantly on klook.

Remarkable Landmarks and Must-Visit Sights
Colosseum
Explore the grandeur of the Colosseum, where ancient gladiators once battled. Don't miss the underground area, the Hypogeum, for a deeper dive into its history.
Colosseum Outer Wall
Your experience begins before you ever set foot inside: the first sight of the Colosseum is always special. The crumbling ruin of the south side gives way to the imperious magnificence of the stunning north side. The ornate structure is 57 metres tall, built using travertine marble sourced from quarries around Italy.
The Second Floor
See the arena from above as you walk around the amphitheater. The second floor of the Colosseum would have been reserved for the wealthiest, most important members of Ancient Roman society. Marvel at the sheer size of the structure, the ornate stonework, and the general sense of greatness.
Culture and History
The Colosseum is a testament to the grandeur of Ancient Rome. Construction began under Vespasian in AD 70-72 and was completed in AD 80 by his son Titus. It hosted gladiatorial games, wild animal hunts, and even naval battles. The rise of Christianity led to the decline of these games, with the last gladiatorial fight taking place in AD 404. Despite damage from earthquakes and looting, the Colosseum remains a symbol of Rome's enduring legacy.
Local Cuisine
While visiting the Colosseum, indulge in Rome's culinary delights. Must-try dishes include pasta carbonara, cacio e pepe, and Roman-style pizza. Nearby trattorias and cafes offer a taste of authentic Roman flavors that will make your visit even more memorable.
