Colosseum, Roman Forum & Palatine Hill Skip-the-Line Tickets

These Colosseum skip-the-line tickets give you a timed entry to the Colosseum and one entry each to the Roman Forum and the Palatine Hill. It is a self-guided visit: there is no guide and no meeting point. Go straight to the Colosseum entrance at your time, show your ticket and explore at your own pace.

How the Colosseum ticket works

• Colosseum: enter within 15 minutes before or after your ticket time. For a 2:00 pm ticket, that means between 1:45 and 2:15 pm. Late arrivals can be refused by the Colosseum staff.
• Roman Forum and Palatine Hill: one entry, valid from 24 hours before to 24 hours after your booked time.
• Last entry to the Roman Forum and Palatine Hill: 3:15 pm.
• Each site allows only one entry per ticket.
• Everyone passes a security check of about 5 minutes. No ticket can skip it.
• Children: a free child ticket is issued at the Colosseum entrance on showing the child’s ID. Bring the ID for the Roman Forum as well.
• Free cancellation up to 3 days before your visit.

What you can see

The Colosseum was built in the 1st century AD for gladiator fights and public shows. Next to it, the Roman Forum was the centre of political and public life in ancient Rome, and on the Palatine Hill the emperors built their palaces. Allow about 3 hours for all three.
