Experience the Hidden Heights of the Colosseum – Open After 40 Years!

Did you know that the upper levels of the Colosseum, once closed for over four decades, are now open to the public again?

A Glimpse into History:

In ancient Rome, your seat in the Colosseum showed your social class:

3rd Tier – For merchants and middle-class citizens

4th & 5th Tiers (Attico) – For plebeians and slaves

Now, after 40+ years, these upper levels are open again.

Modern Access Includes:

– Panoramic Lift

– Intermediate Gallery

– Access to the 4th & 5th Tiers

Step into the heights of history — where few have walked for centuries.

1. Wanna see what 40 years of “No Entry” looks like? Let’s go up!

2. Top of the Colosseum? Oh yes, we’re going there!

3. Rome looks better from the 5th floor – trust us.

4. Level up your visit game – attic access unlocked!

5. The Colosseum’s best-kept secret? Not anymore.

I never received tickets for this tour. There was an email on file and when I didn’t receive the tickets through email, I messaged the operator the night before my tour. No response. My tour was scheduled for 12:10. I am now out $138. I will never use this company again.
Great views

We didn't realize this was a self guided tour-but was amazing! we were one of perhaps 10 total on this tour so it was a very private, not crowded experience. Would highly recommend it to everyone!
Great access, but audio tour needs location cues

The access was really good, but the audio tour wasn’t location specific, so it was not as informative as it could be. Also, more specific directions to the correct elevator for attic access would have been very helpful.
Loved it!

It was amazing!! We got the most incredible photos from the top of the colosseum. I would highly recommend, especially if you’re one who isn’t keen on being caught in the crowds.
Very easy and reliable...

A unique view from above far from the tourist crowds. The rare cards are incredibly hard to come by. It worked great, but you should be flexible in time.
