Night Colosseum is a tour for those who want to experience Rome’s main attraction without the hustle, bustle and crowds. The tour is unique in that you will see the Colosseum at the most mystical time after
sunset and visit those rooms that are closed to the public during the main hours of operation.
At night, when it is lit up and there are few people, the Colosseum is surrounded by a magical atmosphere and is a wonder to behold, and it is possible to visit the Colosseum’s basement and the floors of the arena.
You will pass through a labyrinth of tunnels and passages in the basement of the Colosseum, where the preparation for gladiatorial fights took place and where the animals were kept, locked in cages, to be lifted to the top of the arena.
So on the floor of the arena, crossing a path more than 170 metres long, you can admire all the majesty of the Colosseum, immersed in the mystical ancient atmosphere that enveloped these spaces.
Open hours:
Open every Tuesday, Thursday, Friday and Saturday from 20:00 to 24:00 (last admission at 22:30).
Open hours vary seasonally, please enquire in advance for admission and tickets.
The tour continues to the Roman Forum, where you can see Rome at night from the observation deck.
The tour of the Colosseum at night includes exclusive access to the arena and underground rooms where gladiators and wild beasts awaited their release.
The tour will reveal some of the most moving and sometimes bloody moments in the history of the Colosseum and Rome, which are especially poignant in the evening after sunset.
