The last time I was there, the underground area wasn’t even open to visitors – so I don’t know what’s included on the “normal” ticket these days. It would be posted on the ticket window, however, if any parts of the Colosseum required an additional entry fee.

And I’m a big fan of Context Travel’s tours – they’re small groups, and you feel smarter after they’re done. http://www.contexttravel.com/?ref=whygoitaly

I am torn between the different guide tours there are available! Do you know whether the normal ticket to Colosseum includes admission to the upper level and dungeon?

Great guide. I am torn between the different guide tours there are available! Do you know whether the normal ticket to Colosseum includes admission to the upper level and dungeon?

This is true for two reasons - first, it helps give you a better overview of life in ancient Rome; and second, they’re right next door to one another.

A guide in this case isn’t necessarily a person - there are several options you can choose from to make sense of the ruins. [...]
