Meet the staff at the agreed point and join the group. The staff will certainly be happy to welcome you and provide you with all the information you need to carry out your visit in the best possible way.So set off to discover one of the most important amphitheaters in history wearing a latest generation VR viewer. Observe it closely as if you were really there in 72 AD.
In conclusion, three accurate reconstructions will allow you to take a virtual journey through the square, the arena floor and the undergrounds of the Colosseum.
What to see in Virtual Reality Tour
Discover the magnificent Meta Sudans, the fountain of the gladiators; the Colossus of Nero, which gives its name to the monument itself; then the Arch of Constantine and finally in the Temple of Venus and Rome. Through the animated and interactive reconstruction of the Colosseum in 3D, you will have integrated a multilingual narrative voice. Therefore, all the contents within the reconstruction that you will observe, were handled by the well-known Prof. Filippo Coarelli and by the Digilab Archeo & Arte3D department of the La Sapienza University of Rome.
On the Colosseum Virtual Reality Experience you can feel enveloped by the screams and applause of the 70,000 spectators eagerly awaiting the show. Gladiators; lions; freight elevators that open; and again the velarium, the magnificent red curtain that will close to provide shade; and finally you, who sitting in the emperor’s seat, will have the task of deciding the fate of the wounded gladiator. What will you decide? Will it be “death or grace”?
To end the experience, walk and lose yourself in the dark and gloomy dungeons. Animal cages and gladiator rooms alternate in a continuous succession of corridors. The slaves work tirelessly to prepare unforgettable shows. A magnificent labyrinth in which to learn the structures that allowed the show to begin.
So, are you ready? What are you waiting for! Book now!

Revan Hall –
Exciting and Educational!
A truly well-made journey back in time! The virtual reality experience allowed me to see the Colosseum in all its glory, just as it must have appeared in 72 AD. The headset is comfortable and state-of-the-art, with sharp images and stunning reconstructions. The most thrilling moment? Deciding the fate of the gladiator while sitting in the Emperor’s seat! Gave me chills. Recommended for families, students, and history enthusiasts.

We enjoyed the Colosseum virtual reality experience. The VR glasses showed realistic views and made us feel like we were walking inside the arena. It was a great experience for our family. We recommend it.

Perfect for those who want to understand the real Rome
The Colosseum is already fascinating on its own, but with this experience, it literally comes to life. The audio commentary (available in several languages) is well done, and the narrator’s voice is engaging without being boring. The experience is divided into three phases the square, the arena, and the underground each one full of detail. The only small downside? The experience is a bit shorter than I would have liked. But other than that, it’s perfect!

Great historical and visual attention to detail.
The quality of the reconstruction is immediately noticeable: from monuments like the Colossus of Nero and the Arch of Constantine, to the sounds of the crowd and the battles. The input from Professor Coarelli and the University of La Sapienza is clear—every element is well-documented and realistic. It’s a perfect mix of fun and learning, ideal even for those who aren’t very familiar with Roman history. A 100% immersive experience.

Great for families and kids.
I went with my children (10 and 13 years old) and they had an amazing time. They learned without getting bored, and the experience is very interactive. They loved the gladiator fight moment! The staff is friendly and well-organized. It’s an original way to experience the Colosseum, either before or after the actual visit.
