Arena floor access
Arena floor access is the Colosseum option that lets visitors walk onto the reconstructed wooden floor at the level of the gladiators, through the Gladiator's Gate. It is sold as an add-on or as part of the Full Experience.
Example
The Only Arena ticket gives a single 20-minute access to the arena, so it works as a highlight, not as the whole visit.
