Legendary Arena Events

Airbnb has introduced the 'Ultimate Gladiator Experience' at the Colosseum in partnership with Paramount Pictures, celebrating the release of Ridley Scott’s Gladiator II. This exclusive after-hours event, guided by Host Lucius, offers participants a chance to immerse themselves in ancient gladiatorial traditions within the historic Colosseum in Rome, Italy.

The experience begins as guests are greeted by a host outside the arena and led inside; they will then "descend into the hypogeum, or underground chambers, where they choose their gladiator persona and armor." Afterward, participants explore the torch-lit passageways once walked by ancient warriors. The experience continues with a live demonstration by professional gladiators, followed by an opportunity for guests to learn and test basic combat techniques themselves.

Moreover, the Ultimate Gladiator Experience offers participants a unique opportunity to engage with history in an immersive and interactive setting, providing an unforgettable glimpse into the world of ancient gladiators. By offering exclusive access to the Colosseum after hours, it creates a memorable and authentic experience that is unavailable elsewhere.
