💡Local Tips

Leave your luggage and large bags at home. There have always been lines at the Colosseum but the wait has become especially long because of security measures that were brought in recent years. Everyone must now pass through a metal detector and have their bags scanned. Bags larger than a backpack are completely banned and there is nowhere at the actual Colosseum where you can store them, so be sure to leave your large bags back at your hotel.
Just at the back of the Colosseum is located the Palatine Hill, a large park with ancient ruins. From here you will be able to get such an amazing view of the Colosseum. This is one of my favourite place in Rome, an open space museum where you will enjoy amazing views. Buy tickets at Palatine Hill or the Roman Forum. If you have not planned ahead and thus not pre-purchased tickets then you can still skip most of the line by buying your tickets at the Roman Forum or Palatine Hill. Both are close to the Colosseum and all three sites use the same ticket. (FYI the ticket is good for two days so you can come back to see all three sites if you like). The lines at both the Forum and particularly at Palatine hill are MUCH shorter. This will allow you to avoid the line to buy tickets at the Colosseum, but you will still have to wait in the security line, as mentioned above.

⌚ Best Time to Visit

Go at night (with a pre-booking). Even if you show up before the gates open, there will still be a line at the Colosseum. Skip it all by going to the Colosseum at night – a tour that is only available if you book ahead. No crowds and cooler temperatures, completely worth it.
