Extremely beautiful in the early morning. No filter needed because the sunlight will back you up perfectly. Also, I didn't see the need of booking for a ticket in advance either (and I was there around Christmas time!). Just be there at 8am or so, and the queue is not gonna be too much to handle. The line actually moved really fast tho.
mesmo comprando entradas para não ficar na fila , deve se passar na fila para pegar o ticket .Acabamos vendo apenas por fora ....é belíssimo .dicas os tickets devem estar impressos e se for bem cedo ....horario de abertura a fila e pequena
Architecture superb, the history is amazing, well worth following a guide and listening to the commentary, otherwise you miss a lot. Take plenty of water , because even with tickets there are long queues.
Book a private tour with acces to the remodelled floor and the underground gladiator areas. Well worth it - you skip the line and get a lot more from the guide then in the books. Would recommend using Get Your Guide (also includes a guided tour of the forum).
The first Sunday of every month is free, and it includes a visit to the Roman Forum and Palatine Hill. I went without booking a ‘skip the line’ tour, just before the gates open at 8:30 and by 9:00 I was in; even though there was a very long line ahead of me. The queue moves very quickly.
It is one of the 'must see' sites and in terms of scale it does not disappoint. Be aware that some of the stairs are quite steep so if you have mobility difficulties you may be better off spending your time in the Forum. I booked tickets in advance for the two of us. This is worth doing as they limit the number of visitors to 3000 at a time. So if you are queuing for tickets in the afternoon, you will be at the mercy of the boredom threshold of some of the people already in the building. It is not a place to particularly hang about in and you can complete the visit in about 30 minutes. It may be worth finding out about guided tours in advance, we didn't but it's not that cool to tag on to an existing group but we still learnt quite a lot in passing several guided groups.
Everyone knows the Colosseum is the prime landmark in Rome, but also check out Castel Sant'Angelo - it's a medieval fortress built on top of Hadrian's tomb, and you can see everything from the ancient foundation up to the lavishly decorated papal apartments on the top floor. And the city views from the battlements are amazing!
It's amazing to walk inside the colosseum and imagine how things were few thousand years ago. In the book store of the colosseum you can take a look at some graphic illustration(it's kinda cartoon like) overlaying on the photo of the ruins. It really brings history alive when you're looking at those old stones alongside with those graphic illustration. (We actually bought that book because it's pretty cool!)
The fact that almost every street has a famous site and most around the Colosseum have dozens of Roman Forums in various stages of presentation for tourists, which allows you to invision what the Roman Culture must have been like hundreds of hears ago!
Because it's not a big city and there is so much to see when wandering between the 'big-ticket' sites like the Colosseum and the Parthenon. Walking allows you to come across the tiny pizzerias and cafes which you'd never see if you were on a tour bus or in a car.
I suggest visiting the city outside of the summer months. My family went during Christmas and though there were crowds, they were small. I can only imagine the lines and congestion in the summer. Also, if you really want to go to the Colosseum, get your combined ticket at the Palatino first! We paid 24 Euro total for my family (children free) to gain access to the Palatino, Roman Forum, and Colosseum. Worth it when I saw the crazy line into the Colosseum and we just walked past it all.
We went second weekend of November, lucky with sunshine and temp was 20 degrees, so comfortably warm and just into their winter season so fewer tourists. Avoid visiting churches on Sundays as services in progress means restrictions. Mondays some museums closed. Get a tour guide for some things, essential for the vatican, otherwise it is a visual overload with no time to consult the info, so much better to listen as you look. Vatican is always crowded so easier to follow your guide and also prepaying means you avoid the huge queues to buy tickets. Angel Tours highly recommended. When going to the Colosseum, choose the Palatine Hill ticket entrance to avoid long queues at Colosseum entrance.
“Very good location, 10 min walk from the Coliseum and closeby 3 different subway stations. Room clean and large, staff super kind. The terrace to take the breakfast outside in the morning under the sun is a big plus compared to other locations. Italian breakfast is fine for its price, but note that it is sweet only (italian pastries, croissants, tea/coffee, industrial fruit juices, cereals, yogurt). Good value for money.”
“Close to Coliseum, just 3 minutes away from the subway station. Three rooms, one of those has private bathroom.”
“The hotel is in an excellent location - only a short ride away from the station and ideal for visitors who want to explore the forum and coliseum. Loved the complementary afternoon tea.”
“An interesting, characterful period apartment, nicely furnished in the period style. High ceilings, spacious living room and master bedroom, compact but adequate kitchen and bathroom. Good location for exploring Rome - a pleasant walk to the Coliseum, Forum etc., so we walked in each day, explored the city on foot and finally grabbed a bus back in the evening, which stopped very close by. There's a small Carrefour supermarket nearby (in a back street under an apartment block, not easy to find without directions) for any supplies you need.”
“Lovely clean bright airy room very near the Coliseum. Great tips from host regarding restaurants and places to visit in Rome. Substantial breakfast included.”
