Well, in reality, it doesn’t matter what time you choose to visit the Colosseum. The Colosseum is spectacular at any time of day.

So you can enjoy the colosseum underground by night in peace. When the sun goes down, the massive amphitheater is illuminated from within, creating a stunning effect.
But you don't have to appreciate it from afar; you can go inside the Colosseum at night using our Colosseum and ancient Rome tour by night.

100%. The Colosseum is completely different at night than it is during the day. Without the crowds of the day, the arena is calm and still, giving you a chance to explore the building and consider what it was like during its peak. It's a wholly new experience.
However, this does not imply that the Colosseum is any less captivating during the day. Rome Colosseum feels different during the day than it does at night. If you're up for it, we advise you to visit the Colosseum once during the day before your walking tour of Rome at night. So you'll be able to tell the difference. Visiting the Colosseum at night is also really remarkable, not simply because it is so lovely from the outside. But how serene it becomes.
It's dark all around and there's no one else around, so you enjoy what you're looking at even more. No one to distract you there except your guide.
Another feature that makes this night tour special is the special access to the places which are not available in the daytime.
