Bittersweet Moment #64: Visiting an Empty Colosseum


Listen Later

What's it like to visit the Colosseum in the time of corona? This iconic monument usually crams thousands of tourists in at a time, making the experience hot, sweaty, and often uninspiring (even if it is one of the most inspiring sights in the whole world.)

Now that the Colosseum has reopened after months of quarantine, there are strict regulations on how many people can visit the site at the same time—not to mention the fact that there are still close to zero tourists in Rome right now.

Tiffany fills you in on what it's like, what's wonderful about it, what's disappointing, and the basic info on how to visit.
