PRICING:
Prices include booking fees and service charges. Newborns and very young children pay nothing. The authorities in Rome state that if a child is being carried or is still in a buggy then they qualify for free entry, irrespective of nationality. EU citizens aged 18 to 24 qualify for reduced price tickets, as do EU citizens under the age of 18 or over the age of 65.
HOW YOU'LL GET YOUR TICKETS:
To reserve tickets for visiting the Colosseum, just fill out the booking form, give us a first and second preference for date and time (dates are in European DD/MM/YYYY format), supply us with credit card details, and we'll do the rest. There will be no charge whatsoever until we confirm your reservation. We'll then point you to our secure page, where you can print out your entry voucher. Print it out, take it with you to the Colosseum and present it at the ticket desk ... they will swap it for your entry ticket. As simple as that!
You won't have to join any queues (there is a special pick-up desk for internet tickets), but nonetheless we'd advise you to arrive 15 minutes before your entry time. Please note that the ticket office closes one hour before the Colosseum itself closes, so be there ahead of time if you have made a booking for late in the day.
We also allow you to purchase the Rome Archaeological Pass which allows entrance not only to the Colosseum, but also 8 other notable sites and museums in Rome. The passes are valid for seven days - click here for details.
Please be prepared to show some ID - It is sometimes difficult
for Italian officials to understand that not all countries require
their citizens to carry ID cards, if indeed they are issued in said
countries at all. You will often find that nothing other than a
Passport
or Driving Licence (with photograph) will suffice. A site you may
find useful for your Rome hotel search is ahotelinitaly.com.
