When to go?

During season time you will find Colosseum full of travelers. So the best time to explore Colosseum is during low season months from November through February.

In summers or during a season, the best time to visit is 8:30 in the morning when it first opens. Even in high season, you will still find rush and crowds at this hour, but much smaller crowds than later in the day.

Second best time to visit Colosseum during peak season is one hour before last entry or before it actually closes, so if you go about an hour before that, you will have enough time to enjoy it and not feel rushed.
