Colosseum
Rome’s towering amphitheatre reveals ancient arena tunnels inside, with the Roman Forum and Palatine close beside it.
Look down into the exposed hypogeum, then explore the Forum and Palatine included with standard admission. Largo Gaetana Agnesi frames the intact north wall above the piazza, especially when floodlights come on. Book an official timed ticket and bring matching ID; arena and underground access depend on ticket type. Arrive early for security, leaving suitcases, large backpacks and glass bottles behind.
