Colosseo aka: The Colosseum, Coliseum

Sadly, after a very tiring day of sightseeing we didn’t get to see the Colosseo properly because we were really tired. I would like to see it again maybe better this time.

Pay the paltry admission fee for access to the second level. But don’t fall down the steps! They’re treacherous!

When my wife and I first went to the Colosseum we joined a tour group outside the Colosseum for a small fee and it paid huge dividends. Not only did we get in striaght away but we spent about an hour in their and still beat many tourists who were still waiting outside when we left.

Do go inside if you can – it’s impressive from the outside, but it’s amazing to look down right into the areas below ground level.

This is another place that I’ve been that when you are there you have a feeling of wow, then you look at the pictures and you can’t believe you were there.
