RomaMarch 24, 2012The oldest and largest of Rome's ancient arenas, the Circus Maximus hosted chariot races from at least the fourth century BC. It was rebuilt by Julius Caesar to hold as many as 300,000 people.Upvoted Jan 27
Ron PJune 2, 2017Huge stadium and must be a wonder in its time. It's hot when visited on midday. Best visit early in the morning or late afternoon.

KonstantinaMay 22, 2017Not too much to see. A big plain where the chariot races used to happen. There's some remains left on one side. A good thing to see the proportions! 😀 Also there's a metro and tram stop to get here.- Rene T.September 27, 2019There isn't much to see, but it's a big advantage to have seen the movie "Ben Hur". Coming from direction Colosseum, you can get some drinks at the upper end.
Asta UmbrasaiteMay 3, 2017a perfect getaway place to walk your dog or play some outdoor games. Picnic? I would suggest bring some wine, cheese and relax.
Russell HarrisonFebruary 10, 2017The wide open expanse gives some impression of what a deathly spectacle this place must once have been
WaytostayDecember 11, 2010This was once Rome's largest stadium (300.000 spectators) for horse and chariot races, athletic contests and wild animal fights. Great place for a picnic with family or friends on a sunny day!
Melissa SheridanApril 24, 2019Its a great way to escape the masses of people. Not a lot to see from a tourist point of view, but it leaves much to the imagination.
Eugene MatyushkinSeptember 28, 2015If you want to see how great was the Roman Empire just visit one of its astounding ruins.
✨#IamRomdelacrème✨June 17, 2015An ancient Roman Stadium in which chariot racing took place. This historic landmark is now a park open to the public.
Thunder CatDecember 10, 2014Runners beware - it is surprisingly difficult to jog around the Circo Massimo because of the gravel that covers most of the site.
Kasia GéJanuary 11, 2018Not much left but buildings next to it are with it and give a nice vibe. Good place for a walk
María FernándezFebruary 14, 2016It's amazing how big it was... Maybe not a good visit if you're already tired or for people in wheel chairs
- Jenna Rose RobbinsSeptember 9, 2016There's not much left except the depression where the circus once stood. If you're on a tight schedule, I'd skip this one.
- Monumentally unimpressive from a tourism point of view...
Los Viajes de PituApril 16, 2016Apenas quedan restos.. Una gran explanada para pasear hoy en día. Suele provocar decepción 👍
Şakir ÇakınMay 22, 2016Biz bir koşu organizasyonuna denk geldik. Çok güzel organize olunmuş. Biz avm yapardık buraya. Yanında bir dondurmacı var mutlaka gidin.
Fuyuhiko TakayaSeptember 20, 2014ローマ帝国時代に使われてた大競技場。今でもイベント等で使われることもあるそうだ。といっても実際行くと広大な敷地に何もない野原みたいなのが広がってるだけで、雑草もはえてます。そんな感じなので近所の小・中学生が「地域体験/清掃活動」などと称して草むしりに駆り出さされてる姿が目に浮かぶ。
Fábio AlvesJune 22, 2014Mais um dos pontos em que você começa a viajar no tempo, revivendo os diversos filmes que já assistiu sobre império Romano. É impossível não se emocionar.
Al contrario di quanto alcuni dicono non è solo un "campo de tera", ma uno spazio verde nel cuore di Roma tra il Palatino e l'Aventino, dove echeggiano tempi di giochi e festa, da oltre 2000 anni.
Michele CastroAugust 14, 2017Lugar de entrenamiento de los gladiadores. El lugar está conectado con el coliseo por debajo de la ciudad
michele grecoFebruary 3, 2012Qui si svolgevano le corse con le bighe riproposte in Ben Hur. Oggi è un grande prato con una vista mozzafiato sul Palatino specialmente al tramonto. Sul Circo Massimo si affacciano Bar e Pubs
Ferhat DurannnJanuary 8, 2015Roma'da,Aventine vePalatine tepeleri arasındaki vadiye inşaa edilmiş olan yapının bulunduğu alandan başlangıçta Roma'nın Etrüsk'lü kralları tarafından halk oyunları ve eğlenceler için faydalanılmıştır
Federico GonzalezFebruary 19, 2017Hermoso lugar para comenzar un tour !
Kanıt VuralFebruary 11, 2015Circus Maximus sezar tarafından yaptırılmış en eski ve en büyük stadyumdur.Yapıldığı ilk zamanllarda bazı eğlencelerin düzenlediği, tekerlekli arabaların yarıştırıldığı bir mekan olarak kullanılırmış
