I didn't make a reservation in advance and tried to buy it the day before, but it was all sold out, so I barely managed to buy a 24-hour ticket! Please buy it in advance. I was tired after visiting the Vatican, so I took the bus and used it to rest. There was traffic, so I got a little motion sickness, but thanks to that, I was able to rest well and recharge my energy to finish my afternoon schedule. It was a shame that I only got to ride it once because I didn't have enough time!

There aren't many reviews of the catacombs because there are no Korean guides, but it's worth a visit even for someone who doesn't know English. I gave up listening to English halfway through, lol. If you can understand the general situation, you should definitely go there at least once. The guides and tour staff are very friendly.

Guided tour is worth every cent! Our guide Laura provided a lot of details and stories, which helped us to enjoy our visit so much more! The extra images she prepared was also very helpful for us to imagine how life was like for the Romans. The meetup point was easy to find, and we didn't have to wait too long in the queue. The group wasn't too big also.

Remarkable Landmarks and Must-Visit Sights

Colosseum

Explore the grandeur of the Colosseum, where ancient gladiators once battled. Don't miss the underground area, the Hypogeum, for a deeper dive into its history.

Colosseum Outer Wall

Your experience begins before you ever set foot inside: the first sight of the Colosseum is always special. The crumbling ruin of the south side gives way to the imperious magnificence of the stunning north side. The ornate structure is 57 metres tall, built using travertine marble sourced from quarries around Italy.

The Second Floor

See the arena from above as you walk around the amphitheater. The second floor of the Colosseum would have been reserved for the wealthiest, most important members of Ancient Roman society. Marvel at the sheer size of the structure, the ornate stonework, and the general sense of greatness.

Culture and History

The Colosseum is a testament to the grandeur of Ancient Rome. Construction began under Vespasian in AD 70-72 and was completed in AD 80 by his son Titus. It hosted gladiatorial games, wild animal hunts, and even naval battles. The rise of Christianity led to the decline of these games, with the last gladiatorial fight taking place in AD 404. Despite damage from earthquakes and looting, the Colosseum remains a symbol of Rome's enduring legacy.

Local Cuisine

While visiting the Colosseum, indulge in Rome's culinary delights. Must-try dishes include pasta carbonara, cacio e pepe, and Roman-style pizza. Nearby trattorias and cafes offer a taste of authentic Roman flavors that will make your visit even more memorable.
