Visiting Roman Forum before Colosseum

Posted by on

Hello,

I plan to book tickets for Colosseum + Roman Forum & Palantine hill online via coopculture. We are travelling with a kid so I am aware that I will have to collect tickets from special events desk at Colosseum in order to get the free ticket for my kid.

Now the question is, can I just collect the tickets from Colosseum but visit Roman Forum and Palantine Hill first and then visit Colosseum? I ask because the availability of the Underground tour is at 3 PM and I don't want to wait for it at the Colosseum :).

Traveling next weekend.

Regards,
Tushar Bagave

yes. It is basically one open area but I think I remember a ticket check going into the forum area.

I think the question is can they go to the reservation desk to pick up their 2 adult entry + 1 free child entry tickets without having to enter the Colosseum at that point. They want to leave with their tickets, go see the Forum and Palatine, and then return for their tour, using their single-entry allowance to the Colosseum for that.

I wish I had a straight answer for this but hopefully someone else does.

We bought Roma passes

and went from Colosseum - to Palantine - to Forum and it counted as a single entry using the pass.
They are all very close to each other. (kind of across the street from each other)

If you book the tour and tickets in separate transactions you won't have any issues. It's when you book them together that there can be problems. They don't like splitting up reservation purchases so just buy the tour tickets and then buy entry tickets.

Thanks Donna and other members for their inputs. We already booked the tour for 12:40 PM, couldn't wait as the slots were filling up rapidly. We now plan to do the Colosseum first, complete the tour and then move to RF and Palatine Hill. And call it a day :).

The tour though is in Italian so we will have to do our homework :).
