Why Choose a Colosseum Night Tour?

Colosseum Night Tours

The evening visit to the Colosseum reveals a whole new side of Rome’s iconic monument. Under moonlight, the arches glow and transport you back to the time of emperors and gladiators. 

With fewer crowds than during the day, night tours offer a more relaxed way to soak in the site’s rich history. For a serene Roman experience, whether you love history, photography, or memorable adventures, a night time trip to the Colosseum is a must.

Tour the Colosseum by moonlight, exploring hidden tunnels and stepping onto the ancient arena floor.

Savor moonlit Rome with pizza, tour the Colosseum, Pantheon, and Trevi Fountain, then end at St. Peter’s with gelato.

Join a golden-hour Colosseum tour, skip the lines, and head straight inside by night.

Explore Rome and the Colosseum by night with a local guide—an affordable, fun way to see the city after dark.
