It is a popular place to visit when visiting Rome...
We stood in line for quite some time before realizing that we should have purchased tickets online to skip the line up...
As it was hot and sunny we should have packed a water bottle each...
the local entrepreneurs would not have benefitted as they sold us very expensive bottles of water!
If you go, remember these tips!
It may save you oodles of time standing around chatting with strangers!
Allow yourself plenty of time to explore this amazing site.
We walked around for about an hour or so...
there is a very nice gift shop to peruse on your way out of the venue.
Next stop Villa Borghese Garden.

The trick I remember was to buy the double pass at the Forum across the street (that big open air area with the ruins), which allows you to go to the front of the line for the Colosseum. We got that tip from Rick Steves' guide.
I LOVED the Colosseum! It was a "bucket list" thing for me. So amazing.
Amazing. Was this a group tour, or did you go with just a few friends? Whatever, it sure sounds wonderful.
We should have done more research...it would have been much faster to get in!!
My friend and I went to Rome before the Tuscany Cook Eat Discover Tour which I will share with you soon.
Your wonderful photos bring back great memories of this great place.
Colosseum,Villa Borghese (together with gardens) and Forum Romanum are some of my favourite spots in Rome
