Hello nifakeiro, it’s free of charge 🤩 well the exterior parts I went to are but I didn’t visit any interior areas.

No ma le può stare quanto vuole perché è un percorso libero che tutti seguono ma non ci sono guide.

Not for the entrance to the building itself. If you want to go to the roof (recommended) there is a fee that you need to pay. If you go there on the first sunday of the month you can take the elevator up for free. Enjoy!

Hi there, If you stand looking at the monument, the entry is on the right hand side. You can walk up the stairs to the top terrace. You will find the lift on there which will take you to the top. It costs 10 euros bit it is worth! Specially if you like photography. From there you can look into the Forum and also have a ni e view of the Coliseum.

Sorry but the elevator is the only option.

I can confirm there was no cafe when we visited late July.

You do not need tickets. This one one of the only 2 places we didn't have advanced tickets and it was nice to just go on our own. We do like Viator for all out other scheduled tours and would highly recommend you do a small group tour for most attractions. We didn't pay to go into the museum part of it. Just exploring the interior parts and mostly exterior is what we wanted. It does cost 7 euro per person to take the lift up to the top which is worth it.

i did not see a cafe in the roof top at all, to understand well the roof top is the highest place to reach (paying a ticket and taking the elevator)

The above answers are correct.
