How the combined ticket works

The Colosseum, Roman Forum, and Palatine Hill share one ticket and one timed-entry slot. Your reserved time is for the Colosseum. Once you enter the Colosseum, you have access to the Forum and Palatine for the rest of the day. No separate slot, no separate entry fee. Most visitors spend 1–2 hours in the Colosseum, then 2–4 hours in the Forum and Palatine.

Your Roma Pass covers this as one of your two free entries on the 72-hour pass.

Insider tip

Many visitors skip Palatine Hill to save time, but the views over the Forum and the ancient houses are worth an hour if you have it.

Frequently asked questions

Do I need separate timed slots for the Forum and Palatine?

No. One slot covers all three sites (Colosseum, Forum, Palatine). Your entry time is for the Colosseum; once inside, you can visit the Forum and Palatine for as long as you want.

Is Palatine Hill worth visiting or should I skip it?

Worth visiting if you have time. The views over the Forum are exceptional, and the ancient house ruins show how the emperor lived. Most visitors spend 1–2 hours there after the Colosseum and Forum.

What is the best order: Colosseum first or Palatine Hill?

Most visitors enter the Colosseum, then walk to the Forum and Palatine. Enter early, tackle the Colosseum when you are fresh, and finish with the views from Palatine Hill later in the day.
