The Colosseum is one of the most visited attractions in Rome and a must-see for anyone who loves ancient history and architecture. Built in the first century AD by Roman emperor Vespasian and his successor, Titus, the amphitheater could host up to 80,000 spectators who came to watch gladiator fights, executions, and animal hunts. Here is what you can do at the Colosseum:

• See the impressive architecture and engineering of the monument, with four levels of arches, columns, and statues.
• Walk on the arena floor and feel like a gladiator.
• Explore the underground chambers, where prisoners and animals were held before spectacles.

The general admission tickets to the Colosseum are:

• €16 for adults
• €6 for youth (0-17 years old)

If you plan to purchase the tickets online, you will be asked to pay a €2 reservation fee.
