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.

Although the sites were crowded in some areas, they thinned out quickly when people started to explore. The scale and size of the places is incredible and would recommend this to anyone who loves history

Audio guide directly through the app (and also in different languages like dutch). You get your tickets immediately via the app and don't have to pick them up somewhere else. Only skip the line tickets for the colosseum. For forum romanum (including palatine) still waiting to enter (+- 1h waiting time). So be sure to plan for a full day to visit everything and keep this in mind when booking your starting time for the colosseum.

The purchase was very easy, I like that it has a free audio guide and that you can visit the 3 things with 24h (although it could be a few hours more, not to run around). Water fountains inside the monument. Beautiful everything

The Colesseum tour was incredible, with access to the history of the famous landmark, we were able to experience the view and its historical importance.

The glory of the Colosseum

The Colosseum is one of Italy’s most popular destinations. Believed to have been constructed as a gift from the ancient emperors to the Roman people, this grand outdoor amphitheater once served as an epicenter for entertainment, hosting various public spectacles and games. A stage for gladiator fights, often including animals, the Colosseum has quite a bloody past. Step back in time, marvel at the impressive architecture, and walk the floor of the greatest arena known to mankind.

Marvel at the Roman Forum & Palatine Hill

Your Colosseum ticket also includes entry to the Palatine Hill and Roman Forum. Head to the Roman Forum and travel back in time as you walk along the same paths as the ancient Romans did. You’ll get a chance to witness popular sites including the Temple of Antoninus Pius, Temple of Castor and Pollux, Temple of Saturn, Arch of Septimius Severus, and much more.

Palatine Hill offers one of the best views of the city. Here, the lush Farnese Gardens offer a peaceful escape from the crowds. Relax amidst manicured terraces, statues, and panoramic views of the Roman Forum and Colosseum. Once considered the most desirable neighborhood in Rome, Palatine Hill lives on an extensive archaeological site and was the chosen spot for Emperors to build their homes.

With plenty of ticket options, you can personalize your tour to include bits that interest you the most.
