¿CUÁL ES EL MEJOR MODO DE VISITAR EL COLISEO?
The Colosseum attracts millions of visitors every year and is one of Rome’s most popular sites. That being said, it is also home to some of the longest lines in the city. In order to get the most out of your visit to Rome, it is vital that you plan your Colosseum visit in advance. Early birds usually have the shortest waiting time but, keep in mind, traveling during peak season means crowds no matter the time of day.
La entrada al Coliseo también incluye una visita al Foro Romano/monte Palatino. El Foro Romano y el monte Palatino técnicamente son dos sitios distintos, pero como están ubicados uno al lado del otro, se consideran una sola área. Esto significa que el boleto del Coliseo puede ser usado dos veces: una entrada al Coliseo (al horario especificado en la reserva) y un ingreso al Foro Romano/monte Palatino (el mismo día o dentro de las 24 horas del horario de reserva). Ten en cuenta que el Foro Romano/monte Palatino es una zona inmensa y suele tomar al menos una hora para explorarla – así que planea tu itinerario en consecuencia.
The Colosseum and Roman Forum/Palatine Hill open everyday at 8:30am and the last entrance is about an hour before dusk (see chart below for time schedule). All visitors are allowed to remain in the site one hour after the last entrance. Due to the significant size of the Roman Forum/Palatine Hill, the custodians will direct visitors to exit the area early in order to ensure the site can close on time – this can happen even 30 minutes prior to closing time, so be sure to allow plenty of time to visit the site.
TIPOS DE TICKETS
¿QUÉ TIPOS DE TICKETS HAY DISPONIBLES EN EL COLISEO?
There are many ways to visit the Colosseum. Every reservation ticket has a timed entrance for the Colosseum so be sure to check your ticket and arrive with plenty of time to spare. Each ticket also includes one entrance to the Roman Forum/Palatine Hill, as stated earlier. You can enter the Roman Forum/Palatine Hill on the same day or within 24hrs of the reservation time.
Digamos, por ejemplo, que tienes un horario de ingreso al Coliseo de 2:00pm. Tendrás que llegar a la entrada principal del Coliseo hacia las 1:30pm, mostrarle tu ticket al personal del Coliseo y ellos te dejarán entrar a la fila de control de seguridad (puede que tengas que esperar hasta 10 minutos antes de tu horario de reserva). La entrada al Coliseo no es negociable. La entrada al Foro Romano/monte Palatino depende de ti. Puedes usarlas de tres formas distintas: el mismo día pero a la mañana, y llegar a la entrada del Coliseo a la 1:30 pm; el mismo día pero luego de terminar tu visita al Coliseo y antes del último horario de ingreso al Foro/Palatino; al día siguiente pero entrando al Foro/Palatino antes de que expire el ticket a las 2:00pm.
In addition to the standard ticket option, there are restricted-access tickets available for purchase. These upgraded tickets include access to the Colosseum’s Arena Stage, the Dungeons/Underground level of the Colosseum, and the Colosseum’s Upper Level/Third Tier. These VIP areas are accessed via the Stern entrance, commonly referred to as the Gladiator Gate entrance. This separate entrance has much shorter security lines than the main entrance. Check out the TICKETS page for a detailed list of ticket options.
QUÉ ESTÁ PERMITIDO Y QUÉ NO
¿HAY COSAS QUE NO PUEDO TRAER CONMIGO?
El Coliseo requiere que todos los visitantes pasen por un control de seguridad. El proceso es básicamente igual al de los controles de seguridad en los aeropuertos. Hay bandejas disponibles para que los visitantes vacíen sus bolsillos y todas sus pertenencias deben pasar por máquinas de rayos X. No es raro que se les pida a los visitantes que elijan entre descartar algún objeto o no ingresar al Coliseo. Para asegurarte de que el ingreso sea sencillo, la siguiente es una lista de objetos permitidos y prohibidos en el Coliseo:
ALLOWED*:
- small/medium bag and backpacks (no roller-bags of any size are allowed)
- Botellas de agua de plástico (tal vez te pidan vaciarla, pero puedes llenarla adentro)
- Rociadores sin aerosol*
PROHIBIDOS**:
- Bolsos y mochilas pequeñas/medianas (todo bolso con ruedas está prohibido)
- Glass containers/bottles
- Weapons (including pocket knives)
- Aerosol sprays
*It is advised to leave sentimental items at your accommodation.
**Please note: what is/is not allowed is decided by the Colosseum’s security staff and can change at their discretion. In the past, there have been times when no liquids, even water, was allowed to be brought into the Colosseum (including makeup, sunscreen, etc.). In this case, you can empty your water bottles and keep them with you to refill them inside the Colosseum.
