Full description

The Full Experience ticket opens the parts of the Colosseum most visitors don’t reach. You’ll walk onto the reconstructed arena floor, where gladiators once stood, and descend into the hypogeum, the network of tunnels and lifts that brought animals and scenery up for the games.

The ticket also covers the Roman Forum and Palatine Hill, so you can continue through the archaeological park at your own pace. Access to the underground is at a fixed time, sometimes with a site escort.
