Okay, let me describe the scenario to you. The parking around this building wasn’t horrible. There were a bunch of open spaces. We took quite a TREK to reach the entrance into the Colosseum. Like many of you, we had to wait in a line to enter. Once our turn came, we were told to go to some website. We went there and it brought up a 404 Error. The helping guy said to download an app instead. After getting ParcoColosseo , we followed pages of instructions in Italian. At least this guy was nice enough to help the clueless tourists. ParcoColosseo has so many glitches and bugs. There WAS a menu at the top for different languages, but that went away too. It went away once the company started asking for a payment. That led to a different website with only italian. That helper guy was helpful here, too. The one thing that makes ZERO sense is that ParcoColosseo was just a website branded as an app. The whole time it felt like a link that you press in the description of a youtube video. If you know, you know.
In conclusion, ParcoColosseo is trash and should not be a requirement to get into the Colosseum. Only this one helper guy was nice and the rest of the staff was rude and ignorant. Most of them were on their phones and were ignoring us, the visitors. I would definitely recommend entering this place, but I would be prepared for a large headache. What a country...
