misery1001 Posted March 13, 2007 #1 Share Posted March 13, 2007 Hi, If we are arriving at Rome Terminal at 9:20am, is it possible to take the metro to Colosseum, purchase tix at Palatine Hill, and be at Colosseum for the 9:45 tour? How often are the tours? 30 or 45 min? Thanks Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
azski Posted March 14, 2007 #2 Share Posted March 14, 2007 I really think you will be pushing the limit there - the train ride is 15 min , then the wait in line etc. at the colleseum there are guides there and they have tours every 30 min or so Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Susan-M Posted March 14, 2007 #3 Share Posted March 14, 2007 Our train was scheduled to arrive at the Termini at 9:20 as well .... but was 10 minutes late. It's a bit of a hike within the Termini to get to the subway (allow 5-10 minutes to get oriented and walk to the subway). Line B to the Colosseo stop puts you right outside the Colosseum. (We were there by 10 a.m.) You can probably get there by 9:45 if the train from Civitavecchia runs on schedule, but you'll need extra time to buy tickets at Palatine Hill.

SaylorGirl Posted March 14, 2007 #4 Share Posted March 14, 2007 I agree you may be pushing the time for 9:45. If your train arrives on time and you move fast to get your tickets it is possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Andrews Posted March 14, 2007 #5 Share Posted March 14, 2007 Definately possible,the Colosseum is just 2 stops from Termini on Metro Line B Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cberge Posted March 14, 2007 #6 Share Posted March 14, 2007 If you do make it..why walk up to the Palatine entrance to buy tickets and then have to hurry back to the Colosso...just buy your tickets there..they are good for both.I think you will be pushes for time,but they give tours every 20/30 minutes during the busy season so you should be fine.
