The post Tourist Mistakes You Should Avoid When Visiting the Colosseum in Rome, Italy appeared first on Traveler Dreams.
]]>Unfortunately, not everyone ends up having a great experience when visiting the Colosseum. This is mainly because they make some of the following tourist mistakes.
Failing to Get Tickets in Advance
Being Rome’s most popular tourist attraction, the Colosseum is almost always crowded. This means that some visitors need to wait for hours in line to get in. To avoid this from happening, get your tickets in advance with a skip-the-line perk.
Choosing the Wrong Time of the Day
If you want to really have the best experience, make sure that you visit in the morning. There will be fewer crowds, and you will get to properly explore all the things you deem interesting. Also, it won’t be too hot.
Not Being Properly Equipped
Tours of the Colosseum can take up to three hours and involve a lot of walking. You should be properly equipped for it, which includes wearing comfy clothes and shoes and bringing snacks and water. Also, wear sunscreen if you are visiting during the summer or spring.
Bringing a Large Backpack
You should only bring things you will really need, like your phone, documents, and previously mentioned snacks and water. Avoid putting a large backpack on your back, as it will wear you down, and you’ll be too tired to enjoy everything that the Colosseum has to offer. Also, you will not have to worry about bringing in prohibited items, as the entrance checks are pretty strict.

]]>Palatine Hill
The Palatine Hill is an open-air museum containing ruins of ancient buildings and palaces once owned by some of Rome’s most notable figures. Often considered the “nucleus” of Ancient Rome, this is the place that will overwhelm you with history. You’ll find yourself walking around for hours and still wanting to explore more.
Roman Forum
The Roman Forum is one of Rome’s most visited tourist attractions alongside the Colosseum. The site originally served as a market in Ancient Rome before becoming the center of day-to-day life for Romans. Many critical structures, like temples and administrative buildings, were located inside the Roman Forum or nearby and their ruins still stand today for visitors to admire. So if you want to witness thousands of years of history, this is the place to go.

Visiting Colosseum is also a great opportunity to see Michelangelo’s famous statue of Moses. The sculpture can be found in a small basilica called Saint Peter in Chains, located nearby Colosseum. The basilica is also home to St. Peter’s chains. According to the traditional story, these chains were used to bind St. Peter, one of the Twelve Apostles of Jesus Christ, while he was imprisoned in Jerusalem.

]]>An Impressive Piece of Work
As mentioned before, the Colosseum is mere proof of the unique architectural capabilities of the ancient Italians. But it’s one thing to look at a picture of it, and other to be there in person. It’s truly a sight to see, and you’ll feel as though you were transported through a time machine as you walk through its magnificent halls. You might even be able to envision what went on there too, which leads us to our next point.
Are You Not Entertained?
For many people, what makes the Colosseum special has more to do with its purpose for existing in the first place. It was a place where entertainment events were held just as they’re held today in arenas all around the world—except in this case, the entertainment was watching Gladiators barbarically fighting one another to the death. While this would obviously be frowned upon today, the Colosseum nevertheless serves as a relic of those past times for many to appreciate.
