Quote: We've all seen the movie Gladiator. Here's our chance to see it for ourselves. Gladiators may not fill the Colesseum today (unless they speak perfect english and want money for a picture), but the memories and the history of the building are well... Read the full Colosseum (Coliseum) review

Quote: Whether you've seen Gladiator or not, your trip to Rome is incomplete without a glimpse of the Colosseum. Marvel that it was built 2000 years ago. Go all out and have your picture taken with some guy in a gladiator costume. Honestly, I don't think... Read the full Colosseum (Coliseum) review

My Ultimate Destination - The Colosseum
Quote: Some things can't be explained - like my obsessive fascination with the Colosseum, but Rome wouldn't be complete without it...like Athens without the Parthenon - the only place I consider a far second to this ancient structure. After settling in,... Read the full Colosseum (Coliseum) review

Il Colosseo
Quote: The Colosseum is an amazing feat of architecture. Before you go into the building, stand outside and stare up at the massive arena contemplating the fact that the structure is over 2000 years old. That fact alone is always enough to blow me... Read the full Colosseum (Coliseum) review

Colosseum
Quote: The Colosseo is a truly awe-inspiring, magnificent structure which stands as one of Rome's greatest symbols. The Colosseum has been standing since AD 80, which in itself is amazing to me. ~~~~ Being inside the massive arena makes one reflect on... Read the full Colosseum (Coliseum) review

Colosseo
Quote: The Flavian Amphitheater stands the test of time. From the outside it looks much like many of our modern day arenas, reinforcing the fact that the Romans built things to last. The central walkway over what once was the arena may be unattractive,... Read the full Colosseum (Coliseum) review

Quote: I still can't believe I was standing in the Roman Colosseum! Built more than 2000 years ago and still standing. It is one of those things you read about and see in movies all your life but to be standing there is awesome. It is remarkable that... Read the full Colosseum (Coliseum) review

The Colosseum
Quote: This sight, Il Colosseo, is almost as stunning seen at a distance from the outside as it is on the inside. Once you pay the 10,000 lire entrance ($5)--and watch out for pickpockets outside the entrance--you can go in and wander around at your... Read the full Colosseum (Coliseum) review

Quote: The Colloseum was impressive as we were walking towards it. After seeing it so many times in pictures, it's strange to see it in person! We waited in line about 30 minutes for tickets, which wasn't bad. As you wait, there are men dressed in... Read the full Colosseum (Coliseum) review
