Ancient Rome

Getting Here

The Colosseo metro station is right across from the Colosseum proper and a short walk from both the Roman and Trajan forums, as well as the Palatine Hill. Hoofing from the historic center will take about 20 minutes, much of it along the wide and busy Via dei Fori Imperiali. The little electric Bus No. 117 from the center or No. 175 from Termini will also deliver you to the Colosseum's doorstep. Any of the following buses will take you to or near the Roman Forum: Nos. 60, 75, 85, 95, and 175.
