The Roman Colosseum has opened its doors for night tours to avoid the daytime heat and crowds. One-hour tours are held every Thursday and cost more than regular visits.

The heat increasingly makes staying in Rome difficult for tourists as well as locals in the summer. This year, the Colosseum in Rome opened its doors at night. However, they are more expensive.

Details

In Rome, visitors can visit the Colosseum at night. The hour-long tour, which is held every Thursday, is more expensive than a regular visit, but it avoids the daytime queues and crowds. It is also a way to escape the heat that overwhelms every tourist in the Italian capital. In addition, it is a way to show the night side of the Roman monument for the first time.
