Colosseum
Admission includedStep inside the Colosseum and feel two thousand years of history close around you. The sheer scale of Rome's most iconic monument is staggering up close, its tiered stone arches rising against the sky just as they did when emperors presided over spectacles below. Walking the Colosseum's worn travertine passages, you trace the same routes once used by gladiators and wild animals. The elliptical arena floor and the exposed hypogeum beneath it make the ancient machinery of Roman entertainment vivid and immediate.
