Colosseum: Underground and Belvedere

NEWS

• During the opening of the quarterly availability bookings for the entrance tickets to the Coliseum regarding the months of April, May and June 2019, last Monday our e-ticketing platform, due to a very high number of requests, has undergone a volume of requests that slowed down significantly all online sales operations and the call center. In order to ensure better management of the service, in terms of waiting times and accessibility to the system, next Monday, March 4th, the quota of availability of tickets for the month of April 2019, will be released starting from 15:30 Italian time, on all sales channels. Exceptionally, the call center will be open with an extended timetable until 7 p.m.

It is forbidden to access the monument with bottles and glasses containers, alcholic beverages and aerosols.​

We inform you that starting from Monday February 18th  due to maintenance work on the external facade of the Coliseum, there may be problems with individual and group visitors' access points.

Our welcome staff will be available in order to provide visitors with the information and assistance necessary for an easy access to the monument.
