Airbnb and Paramount Pictures Collaborate for Free ‘Gladiator II’ Colosseum Experience
Are you not entertained?
In anticipation of the upcoming “Gladiator II,” Airbnb is partnering with Paramount Pictures to create a unique opportunity. Some lucky visitors will have the chance to explore the Colosseum at night, with this special experience available for free.
According to Airbnb’s press release, “Participants can step into the ancient arena that once hosted legendary battles, get suited up in authentic gladiator gear, and test their skills to see how they might fare in combat.”
This is part of Airbnb Icons, which focuses on immersive experiences rather than overnight accommodations, meaning guests will have exclusive access to the Colosseum for this event.
Details regarding the Airbnb Colosseum Icon experience will be available on Wednesday morning, with booking requests opening on November 27 at 9 a.m. ET.
Here’s what you need to know about this unique Airbnb experience at the Colosseum.

As detailed in a press release, guests participating in the Colosseum experience can expect to enjoy the following activities:

- Walk through the torch-lit passages of the Colosseum
