This 1h 15min guided experience combines exclusive arena access with priority entry to Palatine Hill and Roman Forum, offering an insider's view of Ancient Rome's most iconic sites.

Go back in time as you walk through the Gladiator’s Gate and stand in the Arena where the battles took place! This guided Arena Floor tour with Palatine Hill and The Roman Forum tickets allows you to use a different entrance through the "Trionfal Arch", the door of entrance for the Emperors.
