Are you planning a trip to Rome, Italy? If you are, make sure that you purchase your tickets to see the Roman Colosseum ahead of time. New for 2019, visitors to the Colosseum need to schedule, in advance, their entry time. Head over to their website at https://www.coopculture.it/en/colosseo-e-shop.cfm

My advice is to book your time slot for when they open in the morning, 8:30 AM. This way, you'll beat the crowds and the mid-day heat!
