Colosseum Belvedere Tour from the Sky: Ancient Rome at the top

Enjoy a private stunning view of the Arena where Gladiators became Legends from the upper tier on our skip the line Colosseum tour

  • Skip the line

Uncover the Colosseum from its Belvedere in this exclusive tour for only 7 people.

From the top tier of the Colosseum, everything is amplified. Panoramic views of ancient and modern Rome are breathtaking, while those of the imposing architecture of the Colosseum become dizzying.

The gladiators, forced to fight to escape death, will materialize before your eyes as our guide weaves a captivating narrative. You might even see the blood and hear the roar of the crowd (about 50,000 spectators) gathered below you on the stadium-like steps.

Walk along the Via Sacra, where the traces of chariots are still visible, and understand the significance of the many temples that overlook it for the Romans, both in their daily lives and in their collective dimension. The Temple of Saturn, now gutted, the still imposing Temple of Antoninus and Faustina, and the Temple of the Vestal Virgins, with a charming garden with a pool, are speaking memories and will acquire their historical in this guided tour.

Together with the political heart of the Senate, the rituals celebrated in front of the temples marked the time and the meaning of public and private life for the Romans. They defined values, habits, and a sense of belonging to the mythical history of Rome.

NOTE: Under new rules, Colosseum skip the line tickets must have the full name of every visitor.
