Reviews and Ratings
Write a reviewRobi mega wrażenie! Polecam tu przyjść rano kiedy jeszcze nie ma tak sporo turystów i zdecydowanie warto wrócić wieczorem kiedy Koloseum jest pięknie podświetlony.

Amazing place, it is so big, it is difficult to appreciate it was built by hand so long ago.

Früh dort gewesen, also nicht zu voll. Spannender geschichtsträchtiger Ort
