Such a unique way to experience the Colosseum!

I've been coming to Rome for many years. I went on all kinds of guided tours, but visiting the Colosseum arena at night was a totally different experience. The monument just feels different, and you get a sense of all the history that took place there. Our group wasn't big, and the guide was very enthusiastic. I highly recommend you visit the Colosseum at night!

A visit to the Colosseum without crowds

For me and my wife, this tour was the best way to see the famous amphitheater. We loved the fact there were no daytime crowds, so it felt more exclusive. We got skip-the-line access that we normally wouldn't have. Also, our guide, Enrico, had a ton of interesting stories. We learned so much!

WHAT TO EXPECT ON THIS TOUR?

A CROWD-FREE COLOSSEUM

Exploring the Colosseum at night is unforgettable. With no crowds, the quiet atmosphere and soft lighting make the ancient ruins feel even more majestic.

A NIGHTTIME SUMMER BREEZE

COLOSSEUM AT NIGHT

Did you know the Colosseum was only open during the day in ancient Rome? Without electricity, night events weren’t possible. Today, visiting at night is a rare privilege, something even the Roman elite never had the chance to enjoy.

EXCLUSIVE ACCESS

There are 7.5 million tourists visiting the Colosseum every year. The vast majority of them get to see this astonishing monument only during the day. Take advantage of this night tour and avoid the daytime crowds!

FAQ – Colosseum Night Tour

What's the difference between a day tour and a night tour of the Colosseum?

The night tour definitely has more advantages. It includes access to the arena floor, and you'll also get to see the monument in a way that most tourists never do. Enjoy a crowd-free experience, take photos of an empty Colosseum, and enjoy it from a completely different perspective. For a similarly quiet atmosphere, an Colosseum Early Morning Tour is also a great option, perfect for avoiding crowds while the city is just waking up, but it doesn't include arena access. If standing in the center of the arena is something you don't want to miss, regardless of the time of day, you might consider booking the Colosseum Arena Ticket.

Are there toilets available at the Colosseum?

Yes, there are restrooms available inside the Colosseum. As soon as you enter, to the left of the ticket booths, you will see the toilets.

Can I reach the Colosseum entrance using public transportation?

Public transportation options are nearby, and you can easily reach the Colosseum entry point by metro, tram, or bus. If you are getting to the Colosseum from the northern regions of Rome, take bus lines 38 and 75. If you’re traveling from the south, take buses 175 and 271. Getting to the Colosseum by metro is also easy; take metro line B and get off at the 'Colosseo' stop. For those who are traveling by tram, line number 3 will take you to the Colosseum.

What other attractions should I visit while in Rome?

Rome offers so much to see! Book Borghese Gallery Tickets to see sculptures by artists like Raphael and Caravaggio. Want to see Michelangelo’s artworks inside the Sistine Chapel and explore the Colosseum? Book Colosseum and Vatican Tour.
