Join an exclusive tour of the Arena, the gladiators’ battlefield, limited to just a few visitors at a time.

  • Everything you get: Enter through the Gladiator’s Gate and walk directly onto the partially reconstructed Arena floor, an area not included with standard entry. Your expert guide brings the space to life with stories of gladiator training, fierce battles, and political spectacle. Then explore the imperial ruins of Palatine Hill and the grand temples, arches, and basilicas of the Roman Forum.
  • Why choose this: Standard Colosseum access doesn’t include the arena floor, a rare privilege due to its very limited capacity and preservation needs. See the amphitheater from a gladiator’s-eye view, learn its significance from your guide, and finish amid the Forum’s ruins.
  • Upgrade: Choose your ideal group size for the Arena experience. Opt for a regular group (up to 25 guests) for a value-led option, a small group (15 guests) for better interaction, or an ultra small-group tour (maximum 7 guests) for the most personalized and immersive gladiator’s-eye experience.
