Colosseum, Roman Forum & Palatine Hill - The FULL Tour - Rome City Guide - Italy Travel Ideas

The World-Famous Colosseum in Rome is Italy’s most famous attraction. The very first amphitheatre is filled with history and it’s one of the seven modern wonders of the world. It’s one of the most amazing places you’ll ever visit. And I highly recommend that you add this and visit the nearby Roman Forum and Palatine Hill - the epicentre of the Roman Empire to your bucket list.
But it’s a massive complex, and there’s a lot you need to know before you go. I’ll show you around everything that’s cool in in the Colosseum, The Roman Forum and Palatine Hill and I’ll show you everything from buying tickets to actually getting in!

Apologies for the lateness of this video - ran into some copyright issues (music) but have now sorted them out with Envato. Let me know if you have any questions in a separate comment below and stay tuned for more videos like this.

[@Urdu_views]

Thank you for the short summary, the warnings the suggestions, saw the whole thing.

[@UltimateBucketList]

Fantastic, I'm happy that this helps you with your trip to the Colosseum!

[@KALI_Combat_Academy]

I just got back from my Italian vacation. You can't really feel how massive the Colosseum is until you step inside it. It is HUGE. It makes our modern sports stadiums look small by comparison. Just walk up the steps and you'll understand how fit and healthy ancient Romans were. Millions of steps!

[@UltimateBucketList]

Absolutely! It's so big it's almost terrifying, and it's a shock to realise that this was constructed over 2,000 years ago, way before the age of modern machinery. Hope you enjoyed your Italian vacation!

[@ayushgargcrpf]

[@jasongarufi8187]

Another great video Ninh and thanks for telling everyone to get tickets at the official website instead of 3rd party websites!

[@UltimateBucketList]

Thanks Jason. Yeah, I fell for one of those sites when going to the Vatican, very expensive mistake. The problem is when you search for "Colosseum Tickets", about 7 third party companies with very official looking websites pop up before the actual official website. Very confusing!

[@altintahiri]

Unfortunately we bought the tickets already,so bit late for us.We are going in 2 weeks time,and only have about 3-4 hours to watch them all three.The rest of the time we booked other shows.So not sure what to prioritise for that time (We are only 3 nights in Rome,and one day is booked at Vatican)

[@s-wo8781]

I didn't expect it to look like that with all those stone things in the center. In the movies it always looks empty in that area like a giant circle.

[@UltimateBucketList]

Yes, that's the underground that's now exposed to the sky. I think thousands of years ago, it would have been a solid floor like you see in the movies.

[@Tidybitz]

I did go to Rome just over 20 years ago and went to the Colosseum, Forum etc, it is very interesting but I enjoyed your video neverthless. I'm sure some things have changed since I went though as I don't recall the train station opposite, or maybe my recall is wrong. Glad you mentioned those damn pickpockets.

[@UltimateBucketList]

The Metro is a relatively new thing, and you could probably see the amount of construction going on in the video. This is because they're building a new metro line that runs through Colosseo, so if you do come back to Rome, it'll be even easier to get to!

[@MarcLudford]

Hi, Great video. Do you know if the nighttime tour is good? Do you know how to get tickets for a night time visit? Thanks!

[@UltimateBucketList]

Thanks very much! The night tour is meant to be amazing, however I think it's external companies that do them. Please check the official website, but I'm sure you have to book with another company.

[@redha6432]

Hi thank you for your video review ! What would you recommand between an access to the colosseum arena and an access to its first and second levels ?

[@UltimateBucketList]

Thanks. With every ticket, you access the first and second levels. You can pay extra to go to the arena and pay extra to go underground, which is what I did. I recommend buying everything, as you'll probably never be back to see it ever again.

[@snigdhasinghvi7603]

How much time does it take to cover these three spots

[@UltimateBucketList]

It took me most of the day to cover all of this.

[@bradpolak6793]

I was just there 2 weeks ago Make sure to return in the evening The lights make it so dramatic

[@UltimateBucketList]

Yes absolutely. It's really nice when the Colosseum is lit up at night.

[@mikeym1223]

Do you get to go inside the colosseum at all if you don’t pay for the special access to the arena floor?

[@UltimateBucketList]

Yes, you can pay just the standard entry and that will allow you into the Colosseum. Pay a little bit extra and you access the the Arena Floor. Pay a little more and you get the underground. Does that help?

[@mikeym1223]

@@UltimateBucketList yes, thank you

[@rekhasingh1163]

Hello again, I am from south africa and temperatures here are 28 to 30 degrees in December. Any advise of the clothes and shoes How busy is it in December, average time you have to wait to get in?

[@UltimateBucketList]

Hello again. The temperature in Rome in December can range anywhere between 11°C and 4°C. It can rain a lot, so prepare for all weather conditions, as it can get cold, rainy and windy. The average wait time will depend on the amount of tickets that have been sold, but usually first thing in the morning or later on in the afternoon is quiet. In the middle of the day, it is busiest. As mentioned in the video, please book tickets as early as you can. Hope that helps?

[@rekhasingh1163]

Thank u for this, booked

[@LindaJohnson-f5r]

Hi, really enjoying your videos, when did you visit the Colosseum and Rome. We're travelling in December and wondering how cold it will be :)

[@UltimateBucketList]

Hi Linda, thanks for stopping by and watching my videos. Rome doesn't get that cold in December, average temperature is about 10°C, it never snows and water never freezes. But you might find it breezy, windy and a little overcast. I went in February and I thought it was perfect. Sunny but not too hot. Hope that helps?

[@LindaJohnson-f5r]

@@UltimateBucketList Hi Ninh, Thank you ! I'm from Sydney, Australia so if daily temps are around 10 C, it will be a little chilly for me, so I will make sure I will dress a little warmer.. We're also going as far as Venice and The Lakes area, Florence, Pompeii, Sorrento. I'll be watching all your Italian episodes. :)

[@UltimateBucketList]

@@LindaJohnson-f5r ah yes, if that's the case 10°C, will feel like the frozen tundra. Indeed wrap up warm, wear a winter jacket and you'll be fine. And please do check out my other Italian guides. I've not been to Florence yet, I plan on doing that sometime soon. :)

[@nancyv2288]

I am trying to book the tickets using the website you mentioned however it’s never reachable. Could you double check if it’s typed correctly.

[@UltimateBucketList]

I checked - it's correct. Once the website loads, click on "Visit", then "Buy Tickets"

[@mariamatheny7974]

Do you have to use the 48 hour ticket within two days? I'm thinking Colosseum one day and the rest of the site later in the week

[@UltimateBucketList]

I believe it has to be two consecutive days, as it was told to me in person (and it says so on the website). But to be honest, I managed to squeeze in the Colosseum and Forum in an afternoon so it's not too intense unless you want it to be?

[@reyhanhasan246]

Thanks for the great videos. I am trying yo get a ticket for the colosseum fir the first week in july but cant book for some reason. Do you have any idea why we cant?

[@UltimateBucketList]

Thanks! Most likely because it's sold out - July is prime season when the school and summer vacations start, so if it's not bookable, they've probably sold all the tickets already.

[@Tom-ff8cv]

does the colosseum ticket cover access to forum & palantine hill?

[@UltimateBucketList]

You can buy a combined ticket or pay separately for each attraction. The combined ticket is way better value for money though, so I recommend buying that one.

[@pmc89]

Hi Ninh, Can you please tell me how can i get access to the arena or underground with the combined ticket? Can you also please share the link to the ticket you purchased?

[@UltimateBucketList]

When you press 'Buy Ticket' on the official website, there will be an option that says "FULL EXPERIENCE TICKET WITH ACCESS TO THE ARENA AND UNDERGROUND OF THE COLOSSEUM". Click on that.

[@joellesis3819]

I have been trying to get to the website and it will not load. Going over there in October and would like to purchase a ticket without using a 3rd party.

[@UltimateBucketList]

There's a problem with 3rd party companies using computer software to buy all the tickets from the official website and re-selling them at inflated prices. I think that's the reason why they shut down the website. I'm not sure, but I believe the only way to access the Colosseum now is just to queue for tickets.

[@joellesis3819]

Thank you for responding and for teh possible explanation. @@UltimateBucketList

[@SweeTsao85]

I can't seem to access the official website you provided for ticketing, is it still valid?

[@UltimateBucketList]

I've read reports on third party companies using bots to try and auto-buy all the Colosseum tickets so that they can resell them at inflated prices. Sometimes when the website doesn't work, it's probably because of that. I just clicked on ticketing.colosseo.it/en/ and it worked fine.

You'll be rushing around, but I'm sure if you did a quick walkaround of the Colosseum and briefly walk through the Roma Forum, it's possible. Please note, the queues to get in these places are long, so bear that in mind.

I think it should be gotten rid of. It's not a fun place. Poor people and animals had to fight for their lives here

I think it's a relic of another time, nowadays it's a piece of ancient history Whilst the history of human and animal death in undeniably bad, it's kinda what makes this place so famous.

This video really broke me down…knowing the death and suffering that happened there all for entertainment and the poor innocent animals that didn’t know what was going to happen to them, they were probably scared to pieces I couldn’t imagine being in that horrific time…even some of the people probably didn’t know what was going to happen or leading up to and more then likely it’s probably some of our ancestors …. It really broke my heart and made me cry, so thank you for showing me this cause I know I’ll never see it in person…if I didn’t I’d probably go to there and cry and pray for all the lost souls…keep making memorable videos❤🙏🏼God bless

Thank you. Yes, it was a truly horrific time, and fortunately, it doesn't happen in this day and age to that extent. I appreciate your comments.
