Colosseum, Rome

Oh, the Colosseum... what a masterpiece. If you appreciate old-world history, you will be amazed by this location. It’s impossible not to be charmed by the beauty of it. Although you can visit this monument from the outside and that may be fine, I recommend to also tour the inside. General admission costs 12€ and grants access to the Colosseum and the Roman City. If you buy the upgraded tickets for 22€ you can also visit the basement and the 3rd level of the Colosseum but you must be accompanied by a professional tour guide. I feel like this decision is geared by money which is a little disappointing. I tried purchasing one of these tickets but unfortunately there was none left for the day I was there. I feel like I missed out on the opportunity to fully embrace the experience of the Colosseum. By the way... you can order tickets in advance online for a 4€ fee. It may be worth it as lines can be pretty long and there’s no shade so you may burn up! Beware the tickets bought online are for specific times and you may be refused access if you’re late.

Most impressive sight. Steeped in history. This is the kind of historical site you need to have a guide to bring you around. There is so much detail to be revealed that you could miss important facts if you try to check it out yourself. Fantastic engineering and architecture went into building the Colosseum. Enjoy your visit.
