Begin your visit to the Colosseum through the Gladiators’ Gate, the historic passage once used by ancient fighters before stepping onto the arena. Entry is included and coordinated by your licensed guide as part of the scheduled tour. From here, step onto the Arena Floor and experience the monument from the same level where gladiators once stood, surrounded by the vast amphitheater that could hold up to 60,000 spectators. This vantage point offers excellent photo opportunities and reveals details such as inscriptions carved into the seating by Roman nobles.
After visiting the Arena Floor, continue your exploration with your guide to the first and second levels of the Colosseum.
