Rome’s metro system is relatively straightforward and has three different lines: A, B, and C. The “Colosseo” stop is located on the “B” line. Keep in mind that, instead of having to transfer/switch lines in order to get to the “B” line, there are stops on both the “A” and “C” lines that are within a 20 minute walk of the Colosseum. Any time you switch lines, remember not to exit the metro system otherwise you will have to pay for a new ticket. Information on the different types of tickets and the costs can be found at the bottom of this page.
If you are coming from the “B” line: simply check that you are taking the metro in the right direction and get off at the stop Colosseo.
If you are coming from the “A” line: you will need to take the metro to Termini station and switch to the “B” line (follow the signs) and take the metro in the direction of Laurentina. Get off at the stop Colosseo. Walkable metro “A” line stops: Manzoni; San Giovanni.
If you are coming from the “C” line: you will need to take the metro to San Giovanni and switch to the “A” line and take the metro to Termini station. Get off at Termini station (be sure not to exit metro system) and then switch to the “B” line in the direction of Laurentina and get off at the stop Colosseo. Walkable metro “C” line stop: San Giovanni.
