Rome: Colosseum Entrance and Virtual Reality Experience
Overview
Following the new directives of the Colosseum, the entrance ticket is nominative and therefore it is mandatory to provide the FULL NAME OF ALL PARTICIPANTS.
Take part in an innovative self-guided experience that combines the entrance ticket to the Colosseum with our exclusive Virtual Reality tour. Thanks to the special Oculus glasses, you will explore the Colosseum as it was in Roman times, with a unique animated and interactive reconstruction of the monument and its surroundings. An integrated multilingual audioguide will guide you step by step, making history come alive before your eyes.
A real immersive and multisensory experience for the whole family: informative, educational and entertaining, suitable for all ages!
For security reasons, no 3D devices are allowed inside the Colosseum. The Virtual Reality experience will therefore take place outside the monument, before the entrance with your tickets.
PLEASE READ CAREFULLY ALL THE INFORMATION ABOUT THE TOUR BEFORE BOOKING!
