Todo es grandioso, la verdad una joyita si estás de visita por Roma y vienes al Coliseo no te lo puedes perder. Vale totalmente la pena, tranquilidad, vistas hermosas, una gran caminata por un excelente lugar. Totalmente no se lo pueden perder por nada

Es increíble ver las hectáreas de naturaleza en pleno centro y la cantidad interminable de ruinas de lo qué fué el imperio romano, llevar zapatos muy cómodos, mucho que caminar pero vale la pena.

Sl igual que el Coliseo: hermoso, conmovedor. Pero explotado de gente. Sugiero leer antes o contratar guia para entender lo que vas a ver, de lo contrario se desaprovecha la visita.
