Rome’s Colosseum extends cool night tours as heatwaves scorch city

As extreme heatwaves continue to impact Rome, the Colosseum has announced an extension of its nighttime tours, allowing visitors to explore the iconic landmark in cooler evening temperatures. These tours provide a unique opportunity to experience the ancient amphitheater under the stars, offering a different perspective on its historical significance. The decision to extend these tours comes in response to rising temperatures that have made daytime visits increasingly uncomfortable for tourists and locals alike. The Colosseum, a UNESCO World Heritage site, remains a symbol of Roman history and architecture, and the nighttime tours aim to enhance visitor experience while ensuring safety during the sweltering summer months.
