Combining Your Visit: Colosseum, Forum, and Palatine Hill
Do I need separate tickets for the Colosseum, Forum, and Palatine Hill?
No, you don’t! All three sites are part of the same monumental complex and are within walking distance of each other.
Great news: A single ticket grants access to all three! So, don’t throw away your Colosseum ticket after your visit; you can use it to explore the Roman Forum and Palatine Hill too.
Flexibility in Your Visit
Do I have to visit all three monuments on the same day?
Nope! Your ticket is valid for 24 hours from your first entry, whether it’s at the Colosseum or the Roman Forum/Palatine Hill area. This gives you the flexibility to visit the Colosseum one day and explore the Roman Forum and Palatine Hill the next, or visit all three on the same day if you prefer.
