Disappointing photos show what it was really like to visit the Colosseum in Rome

When I visited the Colosseum in Rome for the first time, I wanted to experience stunning views that would transport me to the past.
This was in October 2022 during a two-week train trip through Italy, Germany, Austria, and Switzerland.
When I booked my trip, I started looking up Colosseum posts on Instagram and found several photos of people touring — seemingly alone — around the gigantic historic structure. To me, these photos looked quiet and peaceful, and I wanted to have a similar experience.
Although the Colosseum is one of the most popular attractions in Rome, it has a capacity of 3,000 visitors at a time, The Washington Post reported in 2021. "So, how crowded could it really be?" I wondered.
Turns out — incredibly.
