★★ Worth the Detour

Go beneath the Colosseum

Explore the hidden tunnels beneath the Colosseum where gladiators and wild animals once waited in Rome, Italy.

Go beneath the Colosseum
Firsthand Pick
Why this one matters

Go beneath the Colosseum into the hypogeum, the hidden network of corridors where gladiators, animals, and stage machinery waited before entering the arena. Access is limited and requires guided tour rather than a standard Colosseum ticket. Along the way, you can see the remains of ancient lifts, trapdoors, holding areas, and the backstage system that powered the spectacles above.

Hannah's take

The tour also included the Roman Forum and other parts of the Colosseum, but the highlight was the underground level. It feels surprisingly intimate because access is timed and only small guided groups are allowed in at a time.
