Visiting Rome and not visiting the Colosseum is not possible. You can see the Sistine Chapel and the Basilica of St. Petre’s, the Vatican Museum(we offer those tours too!) but not visit the Colosseum… Many visitors assume that the Colosseum is open every day of the year but do look out for opening hours as they may vary. With the gladiators and animals but a distant memory and the roars of the crowds now muted, the old arena still attracts millions of visitors a year. It is advisable to plan as tours are sold out very quickly as there is a limit to the number of visitors allowed in on any given day. This protects the ruins and allows visitors to enjoy the grounds and the site’s beauty.
