Things to know before booking Colosseum tickets

  • Your basic entry tickets to the Colosseum don't automatically grant access to the Arena, Underground, or levels 3-5. Tickets to view these sections must be purchased separately.

  • Pressed for time? Book an express guided tour and zip in and out of the Colosseum within just an hour. Note that unlike standard guided tours, express tours don't grant access to the Roman Forum and Palatine Hill. Regular guided tours are also longer in duration, usually lasting at least 3 hours.

Colosseum Belvedere Tickets

While the 3rd, 4th, and 5th tiers are considered part of the Colosseum Belvedere, the Belvedere is mostly used to refer to the 5th level as it means 'beautiful view'. From this uppermost level of the Colosseum, you will be able to enjoy panoramic views of Rome and the inside of the amphitheater from here. Historically, it was where the general public sat, farthest from the action but still part of the spectacle. The Belvedere was reopened to the public in 2017 after a long closure period for safety reasons.

Now, visitors can ascend to this level as part of a guided tour that specifically mentions access to the Belvedere.
