First-time visitors to Rome must visit the largest gladiatorial arena of the ancient Roman Empire, the Colosseum.

If you're visiting Rome for the first time, the Colosseum is a must-see attraction. Featured in iconic scenes from the movie Gladiator and the anime Saint Seiya, it brings back childhood memories. One can't help but wonder what the real-life Colosseum looks like. With a history spanning over a thousand years, the Colosseum is an elliptical amphitheater built from limestone, volcanic rock, and concrete. It was primarily used for gladiatorial contests, theatrical performances of Roman mythology, and significant battles. As the largest theater of the ancient Roman Empire, it could accommodate over 50,000 spectators, making it truly magnificent! However, after enduring earthquakes, wars, and human destruction, the Colosseum is now in a state of disrepair. What we see today is still under restoration, much like the Acropolis in Greece, which is quite a pity. Nevertheless, guided tours of the underground and upper levels make the visit worthwhile. The high level of craftsmanship and architectural skill of the ancients is truly impressive. Tickets are €12.

Transportation Tips - Subway (1.5 Euros per one-way trip) Local attractions - Colosseum & Roman Forum I bought the ticket online. There are many types, depending on which one you want to visit) The Colosseum is very large, so you must reserve more time to visit it slowly.  Trevi Fountain As the saying goes, the wishing pool, I don’t think it’s worth seeing. It’s just a fountain, but there are so many people, and I don’t really understand what’s so good about it🤣, but I have to go and see it when I come here. Church of Bones (ticket €8.5) It is still worth seeing. It is all built with bones. Taking pictures is not allowed. I secretly took two pictures. Pantheon🏛 (free admission) Although there are many people, it is still worth seeing. It is the most perfectly preserved building in ancient Rome. After all, it has a history of more than 2,000 years. I left a foot hair here😆 hotel- Hotel 77 Seventy-Seven is a new hotel, having only opened in 2021. It has convenient transportation and many attractions can be reached on foot. It takes about 8 minutes to get to the train station or subway station, and 15 minutes to get to the arena. Shopping Guide - Via Dei Condotti, the whole street is full of famous brands. #travelitaly #rome #colosseum #Roman Trevi Fountain #Church of Bones
