Parking near the Colosseum in Rome can be a challenge, given the central location and the influx of tourists. However, there are several options available.
One of the most convenient solutions is to use the pay car parks located nearby. The 'Colosseo' car park is one of the closest options, located on Via di San Giovanni in Laterano, a few steps away from the amphitheatre. This car park is guarded and offers hourly rates, making it ideal for a short visit.
Another option is the 'Parcheggio Ludovisi' car park, which is about a 20-minute walk from the Colosseum. This is also a guarded car park and offers competitive rates.
Alternatively, one can consider using public transport. The metro stop 'Colosseo' (Line B) is very close by and avoids the problem of parking. In addition, there are several bus stops nearby.
Finally, it is advisable to book a parking space online in advance, especially during the peak tourist season, to guarantee a space and save time.
