Another stunning historical landmark for your bucket list but whilst inside it is somewhat interesting, it actually looks better from the outside, but that’s what you get when you try and rebuild some of it. My children did the tour of the colosseum floor and said it was good, but a little rushed.
Incredible visit but book tickets online to avoid the crowds
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.
