To enter you must have a valid ticket. As with the Vatican Museums, the Colosseum also has two ways to obtain tickets: online or on site but having to queue which can last up to an hour. There are long queues at the Colosseum ticket office, but there are also other places where you can go. You can try one of the nearby ticket offices, such as Via di San Gregorio (Palatino), Largo Salara Vecchia, ex Largo Romolo e Remo (Roman Forum) and Via Sacra (Roman Forum, Arch of Titus).
Entrance alone costs 12 euros for adults; 7.50 euros, for young people aged between 18 and 25 and teachers from the European Union; it is free for children and young people under 18 years of age and on the first Sunday of the month. The ticket is valid for 2 days and also entitles you to visit the Palatine and the Roman Forum. To obtain the discounts you must show an identity document.
Please note that the standard ticket does not cover access to all levels of the Colosseum, but only to the standing area. The standard entrance ticket allows access to the Colosseum, the Roman Forum and the Palatine.
You can book your ticket and guided tours by calling +39.06.39967700 or on the Coopcutlure website, paying 2 euros more for the booking fee.
The opening time is set at 8.30am all year round. Closing varies from 4.30pm to 7.15pm, depending on the time of year.
