Exploring Rome by foot is one of the best methods to experience the beauty of the city and approaching the Colosseum by foot is no different. Seeing it from a distance, as it dominates its surroundings, is nothing short of spectacular. If you are traveling in peak season, walking can be more comfortable and sometimes even faster than the overcrowded public transport. It is best to allow yourself at least 30-45 minutes to walk to the Colosseum, this way you can enjoy the surroundings without having to rush.
Exploring Rome by bicycle is another great way to arrive at the Colosseum. There are various electric bike rental companies in Rome that provide a fun and easy way to get around the city. The Uber “Jump” bike and the Roma Capitale bikes allow you to pay by the minute and you can park them almost anywhere so there is no need to worry about locking them up or having to pay for the bikes while you are inside the Colosseum.
