Uncover the Secrets Beneath the Arena
Venture into the most mysterious and exclusive part of the Colosseum—the Underground. This is where gladiators prepared for combat and where wild animals were caged before being lifted onto the arena floor. This restricted-access tour takes you deep into the hypogeum, a labyrinth of tunnels and chambers hidden beneath the stage. You’ll see the inner workings of the ancient amphitheater and learn the secrets of how the spectacular games were brought to life.
In addition to the Underground, you will also step onto the Arena Floor for a gladiator’s-eye view of the stands. Your adventure concludes with a guided exploration of the Roman Forum and Palatine Hill, completing your journey through the epicenter of the Roman Empire.
