The Colosseum is the largest standing amphitheater in the world today, constructed between 72-80 A.C. The Colosseum was used for more than 4 centuries to celebrate the great organized fights of gladiators that came from all corners of the Roman Empire. The tour begins with the entry through one of the principal gates, The Gate of Death (porta Libitina) dedicated to the goddess of funerals. Afterwards, guests will see the original arches and the remains of the Imperial, Senators, and Triumphalist gates. The last part of the tour around the Colosseum will take place in the second floor, which wheelchair users can access using an elevator. Here you will be able to enjoy the view of the arena and Rome’s downtown and have ample time to take pictures.

The political and civil heart of ancient Rome beats beneath a complex stratification of streets, squares and buildings whose history, excavations and restorations have repeatedly changed its face: an archaeological panorama unique worldwide that includes masterpieces of medieval art. The Forum was originally covered by a swamp. It was only in the late 7th century BCE that the valley was reclaimed and the Roman Forum began to take shape. It was destined to remain the centre of public life for over a millennium. The various monuments were built through the centuries: first the buildings for political, religious and commercial activities, then during the 2nd century BCE the civil basilicas, used for judicial activities. Already at the end of the republican age, the ancient Roman Forum had become insufficient to serve as the administrative and representative centre of the city. The various dynasties of emperors added only prestigious monuments: the Temple of Vespasian and Titus and that of Antoninus Pius and Faustina, dedicated to the memory of the deified emperors, and the monumental Arch of Septimius Severus, built at the western end of the Forum in 203 CE to celebrate the emperor’s victories over the Parthians.It's important to note that only approximately 20% of the grounds are wheelchair accessible once you reach the lower level, and there are no accessible restrooms on-site. We can arrange an all-terrain Joëlette wheelchair rental for you for an extra charge.
