Experience the Hidden Heights of the Colosseum – Open After 40 Years!
Did you know that the upper levels of the Colosseum, once closed for over four decades, are now open to the public again?

A Glimpse into History:
In ancient Rome, your seat in the Colosseum showed your social class:
3rd Tier – For merchants and middle-class citizens
4th & 5th Tiers (Attico) – For plebeians and slaves

Now, after 40+ years, these upper levels are open again.

Modern Access Includes:
– Panoramic Lift
– Intermediate Gallery
– Access to the 4th & 5th Tiers

Step into the heights of history — where few have walked for centuries.
