      What to bring

        We recommend wearing comfortable shoes for the tour. During the summer months, it's a good idea to bring sunscreen, a hat, and a water bottle —there are fountains inside the Colosseum and Palatine Hill where you can refill it.

        In winter, for rainy weather, we suggest waterproof shoes, a jacket, and an umbrella to ensure your comfort throughout the tour.
