The entrance
The individual visitors’ entrance gate for the Colosseum is at the Colosseum square. You can reach the square by public transport. There are many buses that stop in front of the monument: 75 - 81 - 673 - 175 - 204. There is also a Metro stop nearby; from Termini Station take the underground line B and get off at the Colosseum stop. You can also take the tram line 3 or choose to reach it by car. Near the Colosseum, there is a car park, easily reachable from Via Fori Imperiali. Having the Roman Forum on your back and the Colosseum in front of you, walk alongside at the left side of the monument and you will find the individual visitors’ gate. It will be necessary to show up at the dedicated access gate 30 minutes before the reserved time to go through the security checks with the metal detector and to complete the ticketing procedures at the turnstile.
