The Colosseum needs no introduction; it is one of the most iconic landmarks in Italy and arguably the world. Ranked as one of the Seven Wonders of the World, the Colosseum is truly one of Rome's most beautiful monuments and an absolute must-see.

For me, it remains one of those landmarks that I will never tire of seeing. I love searching for new details and perspectives to observe it. Currently, my favorites are from the Giardinetto del Monte Oppio and from the Terrace of the Altare della Patria (both are in this guide and free).

Visiting the interior is certainly an interesting experience, although in my opinion, it's more impressive from the outside. Of course, I recommend going inside if you can secure tickets, with a Colosseum ticket, you can also access the Roman Forum and explore a fascinating part of Ancient Rome. If you can't get inside, fortunately, Rome has a thousand plenty of gorgoeus monuments and palaces to see :)
