About

A single combined ticket covers the Colosseum's arena floor, the Roman Forum's fallen columns and Palatine Hill above it, three sites that together take most of a morning to walk properly. A guide earns their fee here, turning a field of broken marble into the actual layout of the Senate and the market that ran the ancient world. Book the skip the line slot online, the walk up queue in summer regularly runs past two hours.
