Combo tickets: Colosseum,
Forum & 💵 Palatine Hill
One of the most common questions visitors ask is “do I need to
buy separate tickets for the Colosseum, 💵 Forum, and the Palatine Hill?”. The answer is
no. The Colosseum is part of the same monumental complex as the 💵 Palatine Hill and Roman
Forum, and all three are within walking distance of each other.
Fortunately for
visitors, all three sites 💵 share the same ticket. You can visit the Palatine Hill and
the Roman Forum with the same ticket you use 💵 for the Colosseum — so don’t get rid of it
once you’re done with the gladiatorial arena!
Do I have to 💵 visit all three monuments on
the same day?
No you don’t, tickets for the Colosseum, Roman Forum, and Palatine Hill
are 💵 valid for two days, so you can spread out your visit if you want.
That said, Rome
is jam packed full 💵 of beautiful and spectacular monuments and given that these three
are all very near each other it may be worth 💵 it to see them all in go to make the most
of your time.
