Completed in 80 AD, the Colosseum is considered one of the greatest architectural accomplishments of the Roman Empire. It was commonly used to host gladiator events, so you can imagine the excitement and energy that filled the stands so many years ago. On the tour, your professional guide will walk you through the amphitheater and will highlight the most important historical areas of the building.

Not only will you be able to view the arena, but you can also explore underneath the structures and see the Hypogeum, an area used to hole the gladiators and animals before and during events. Recently reconstructed in 2010, entrance to the Colosseum is difficult with out booking a pre-reserved ticket, this tour under the stars is not something you want to miss out on.

The “Colosseum Under the Moon” tour is available Thursdays and Saturdays only, from May 5 to October 6. Tours are offered in English and they run between 8:30 pm and 10:00 pm, lasting 1 hour and 15 minutes.
