Explore the Colosseum, Forum, and Palatine Hill with One Ticket
One of the most frequent questions is whether you need separate tickets for the Colosseum, Roman Forum, and Palatine Hill.
The answer is a resounding no! These three iconic sites are part of the same monumental complex and are within walking distance of each other.
Fortunately, a single ticket grants access to all three sites. You can visit the Palatine Hill and Roman Forum using the same ticket you used for the Colosseum—don’t throw it away!
Can I visit all three monuments on the same day?
You have the flexibility to explore at your own pace. Your ticket is valid for 24 hours from your first entry, whether it’s at the Colosseum or the Roman Forum/Palatine Hill area. You can visit the Colosseum one day and the Roman Forum and Palatine Hill the next, or explore all three on the same day—it’s entirely up to you!
