The Circus Maximus

Useful tips

If there’s a chance of rain on the day of your visit, bring a raincoat or umbrella. Also, take into account that guided tours might be canceled on such days.
Access to the park is free and it’s open to the public at all times. It’s a perfect spot to take a break and enjoy a little picnic.
If you’re curious about what the stadium used to look like, we recommend you buy tickets for the Circo Experience . This is a 40-minute guided tour around the ruins and uses virtual reality and augmented reality to bring the monument to life.
If you also want to visit the archeological part of the Circus Maximus , you can buy a two-in-one ticket that includes the entrance, plus the Circo Experience.
Tickets can also be purchased via phone, a ticket counter on Viale Aventino, and several tourist info points. Here you can check out the points of sale and visiting guidelines .
