The Colosseum
“There are lengthy queues to buy an entrance ticket to the Colosseum, in the peak summer season – and the queues in spring and autumn can also be off-putting. On one visit in late September, the queues were found to be snaking around the building, heralding a fifteen-minute wait. There are various tricks, however to avoid the worst of the waiting:1. The traditional advice, for this and for other especially popular Italian museums and sites, is to turn up about thirty minutes before the monument ...opens. But the truth is that many other visitors will have had the same idea and long queues forming before the monument has even opened are even more daunting. A better option – even if it does not produce quite the same glow of virtue – is to wait until late in the day, when the majority of coach tours and large groups have departed, ideally just before the ticket office closes, which is an hour before the site itself shuts.2. Tickets for the Colosseum now also include entrance to the Forum and the Palatine and can be used once in each of these three sites over the course of two days.MoreLess
