Experience
Colosseum, Roman Forum & Palatine Hill — Digital Audio Experience with Timed Entry
Admission to the Colosseum, Roman Forum and Palatine Hill together with a narrated digital audio guide on your own phone, plus assistance from our staff at the meeting point.
The experience
Admission to the Colosseum, the Roman Forum and the Palatine Hill, together with a narrated digital audio guide that runs on your own phone.
Our staff meet you at the meeting point, hand over your admission, help you through the entrance and get the audio guide downloaded on your phone before you go in. From that moment the guide works without a network connection — it keeps playing underground, and the audio continues with the screen off.
The narration runs about 80 minutes in total across 30 stops (75 to 90 minutes depending on the language you choose). A full visit to the three sites at your own pace usually takes around three hours: the guide accompanies the visit, it does not fill it.
What you get:
- Admission to the Colosseum, Roman Forum and Palatine Hill
- Assistance at the meeting point and at the entrance
- Printed material for your day
- A narrated stop-by-stop audio guide, offline, on any number of phones in your booking — 30 stops, about 80 minutes of audio
- Seven days of access, to listen again after the visit
The audio guide does not replace a human guide: it is the material that comes with your day, to use at your own pace.
Good to know
Our staff meet you in Via dei Fori Imperiali 25, a few steps from the Colosseo stop of metro line B. Here they hand over your admission, assist you at the entrance, and download the audio guide onto your phone, so that from this moment on it works without a network connection.
The narrated stops cover the amphitheatre: what was built here, who filled it, and how the building worked. The audio keeps playing underground and with the screen off, so you can keep the phone in your pocket.
