Hi,
I've been trying to access the new Colosseum official site without success. I've read it crashes repeatedly... Does anyone know of a tour company where it's possible to book a combo ticket WITHOUT Palatine Hill? I've heard its a steep hill & with my mobility issues would rather skip it. I've looked at tours till I'm dizzy & haven't found one. It's not in our budget to do a private tour for 2 ppl.
Recommendations gratefully accepted and thank you in advance.

You can check on street view to see if the Palatine Hill is too steep. You can also try emailing any of the tour providers to see if it's okay to peel off from the tour early, especially if the Palatine Hill is the last stop.

Just checking - are you trying to access the new site (https://ticketing.colosseo.it/en/) ? I believe it was live starting May 2024. No issues accessing it myself. I have been able to purchase tickets just yesterday. Not going on a tour so don't have any I could recommend but you are able to do guided tours of the Colosseum through their website.

I have been trying to access the Colosseum site at https://ticketing.colosseo.it/en/ as Els mentioned. Was hoping to book the "FULL EXPERIENCE - UNDERGROUND LEVELS AND ARENA - GUIDED TOUR" without success so then tried the :"COLOSSEUM - GUIDED TOUR". Just now I was able to see tickets are available for the 2nd option only from today thru June 20. In conclusion, I think perhaps I am trying to book too far in advance as I was hoping to visit on Sep 20. Appreciate the assistance and thank you.

Yes too early. I've only been keeping an eye out on it for the past month or so but from what I've read it only releases tickets daily for a month out. Would keep an eye out and check periodically to make sure no forum news on ticket release changes. Best of luck when you end up booking!

Looking at buying Colosseum tickets with the Forum- Palatine areas. There is a hyperlink for included entry to Super Sites. Does anyone know what the Super Sites are? The hyperlink doesn't work on my computer. Could it mean that it includes entry to Domus Aurea? I see that there is also a separate ticket available for DA, but there is an Italian flag icon by it. I assume that tour is only in Italian?

lakertone40, best to start your own thread versus hijack someone else's. They don't necessarily want to get response notices for a trip that's not their own, and people who might be able to answer YOUR question won't see if buried in someone else's thread. :O)
But this once....
Does anyone know what the Super Sites are?
They are listed on the Parco Archeological website...which is unfortunately not "live" during the hours the attractions are closed (Rome time) and which annoys me to no end. i'll provide the link tomorrow when I can access it but in the meantime, this will give you a rough idea. Not ALL of them are accessible every day, nor at the same hours.

Domus Aurea is completely separate from the Colosseum/Forum/Palatine. While nearby, it has its own tickets under the ticketing website, which IS live 24/7.

No, tours (mandatory for this attraction) are NOT only available in Italian but the calendar is showing tours largely sold out through August. They are not available yet beyond that month.

This is the page which lists the individual SUPER sites and their visiting hours. As I'd said above, this informational website, while "official", is only viewable during the hours that the Colosseum, Palatine and Forum are open. The "Buy ticket" buttons are active 24/7 and take you to the ticketing partner.
