Go early in summer

Impressive history and artefacts, but no real context of what it was all about. Very busy and limited toilets available, catch the metro for easy access. Don't be early they won't let you in till your allowed time slot.

Highlight of my Rome Trip!

Such a famous site, so I had to go. The very old stadium is located inside Rome, and has incredible archeological sites in it. I went, and was immediately struck by tourists and vendors, but when I went inside, the sites were beautiful. I saw many old seats and places to enter the arena, before heading out to the viewing deck. I saw the arena but didn’t have tickets to the underground nor the attic unfortunately. My favorite part though, was definitely the park, which was amazing. The only part that loses a star is the heat, which made it almost unbearable. Other than that, one of the biggest highlights of my trip to Rome, would definitely recommend visiting it!

Go to the Attic, 1. And 2. Floors are completely overcrowded

We went to 1. And 2. Floor and they were totally overcrowded. I could see to the attic part amd there was almost noone. Plus, because it is higher, you will get better views on the city.
