Description

Your VIP Colosseum underground tour begins with the Hypogeum. The Hypogeum is a suggestive place, with narrow corridors and large blocks of travertine, where gladiators waited for the moment of glory. As you wander deep into its dungeons, you will almost hear the air resonate with their fierce battle cries, and the growls and roars of the animals, tired, hungry, ready to feast on their prey. Gaze in the dim light of those narrow cells and feel the evocative atmosphere of history. During the tour, you will admire fragments of the original floor, the ancient drainage system, the rooms where gladiators waited to fight, the animal cages, and a reconstruction of an ancient elevator which, anchored to a system of trapdoors above, connected the underground and the Arena floor. Visit the central sand-covered wooden platform where the fights took place (“arena” was the Latin word for ‘sand’). After visiting the underground chambers, the tour will continue on the arena floor, one of the most suggestive points of view to admire the massive structure of the Colosseum. Then, you will reach the first and second tiers of the Colosseum. Here, the panoramic terraces will give you an excellent opportunity to take more stunning photos and admire the monument from a privileged position. Learn more about its history, the bloody games it hosted, and loads of anecdotes and curiosities. Your tour will then lead you on a journey through history, visiting the area of the Roman Forum and the Palatine hill. There is no more exclusive or entertaining way to step back in time and immerse yourself in Ancient Rome’s history.
