How much does it cost to get into the Colosseum?

The price for the entrance to the Colosseum is from 18 to 65 euros per person. It is active for 48 hours, and you can visit the Colosseum, Roman Forum, and the Palatine hill using this ticket. Moreover, there are several ticket desks located in the area of the site, and you can buy tickets only, but with an additional reservation fee. The Colosseum works daily from 8.30 am. It is closed on the 1st of January and the 25th of December. 

Do not trust tour guides, offering their services next to the walls of the Colosseum. More safe way is to book online on trusted website.

Discounted tickets will cost 4 euros, valid for EU citizens aged 18 to 25 years. EU citizens have the possibility to visit the Colosseum for free! Residents of the European Union under 18 and after 65 years can pass through a special entrance to the amphitheater free of charge.

• Reservation in advance costs 2 euros, but it helps to avoid long queues at the ticket office.

Note: You can visit the Colosseum by booking one of the Underground Tours to the amphitheater. These tours are also available in the evening when the official selling of tickets to the Colosseum is stopped, and the whole arena will belong only to you. The underground tour’s feature is in its narrow corridors and secrets from the time of the ancient Roman Empire that you will recognize from your tour guide. The ticket price is included in the tour. Options of underground tours to the Colosseum and more details are here
