    Easy access, free ticket collection for my 6-year-old daughter inside. Spectacular visit. A visit to the arena is a must. Audioguide to the Colosseum not essential, as very brief. We didn't visit the Palatine Hill and the Roman Forum because my daughter was tired. We could have come back the next day, as the ticket is valid for 24 hours, but we had other plans.

    After 5th x in Rome still nice experience, tickets fine, remember many checks , and if there is rain ( as we had a shower) paper tickets fade your QR code ( not happened, but didn't make much difference) via app is more convenient then.

    You can't come to Rome without visiting the Colosseum. We loved it. Especially Mount Palatine and the Roman Forum; many museums, all very beautiful.
