A really cool and fun place to visit. I advise booking a tour or getting your tickets beforehand. I also advise you to bring a hat and bottle of water, it can get very hot. They have water filling stations so don't worry about having to buy more. You will also need your passport or other form of ID.

I'm a contractor, who likes to travel and see things that were built by civilizations that didn't have our technology or machinery. And the Colosseum is one of the greatest structures I've ever seen. The architects who designed it were thinking beyond their time, with elevators, retractable roofs, constant fresh water supply from outside sources, seating numbers and sections. Just the organization alone for the amount of people it could hold is mind blowing. This is probably the closest an ancient civilization has ever came to what we have today but with aesthetic appeal, art and statues well beyond what we would include in our structures today. The Colosseum is a design and engineering marvel that anyone can appreciate.

Visited the Colosseum in early July, and it was extremely crowded and hot, probably due to the summer holidays. We made reservations online in advance, so we could enter directly at our scheduled time without waiting in line. Inside the Colosseum, the shaded areas were quite cool. Despite the crowds, with a bit of patience, we managed to take photos at the main spots. Overall, the experience was spectacular and awe-inspiring.

Amazing experience! The cultural and historic significance cannot be understated. They do a great job of telling a story and how it has evolved since initially built. Doing a full circle is definitely recommended as no two sections are the same and all five good context of the place. I’d recommend buying tickets at least a day beforehand. Security takes around 10 mins

The Colosseum is an iconic symbol of Rome, a must-see for history buffs. Its sheer size and grandeur are awe-inspiring, even in its partially ruined state. Walking through the arena, you can almost hear the roar of the crowd and envision the gladiatorial combats. A guided tour is highly recommended to understand the complex history and architecture. Be prepared for crowds and book tickets in advance.
