Good app to find access on short notice. Although the app fares feel expensive and for the following destinations we prefer to search directly.

All went very well from start to finish without a glitch 👌. Was great to be walking and standing thousands of years later where the great Romans lived, worshipped, played and died. Thanks for giving me the chance to experience it as I missed out on getting tickets from the official website 👍😀

We purchased all tickets / attractions in Rome via Headout. The payment, information and reminders about the upcoming event went smoothly. Only the additional redemption of the tickets we received was a bit nerve-wracking. Even though there were directions to the redemption points, it took a lot of time and nerves in a foreign country. It would have been more relaxed to be able to use the tickets received via cell phone in the same way. However, the attractions were worthwhile despite the crowds, everyone was very friendly and relaxed. Any time again.

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, the Temple of Castor and Pollux, the Temple of Saturn, the 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.
