@ tham123 - The Colosseum did not exist in Julius Caesar's day. It was built about 100 years later by Vespasian

However, the arena was still a popular attraction, and because it was a public work, it was free to attend.

Besides the games, baths were an important element to Roman culture. The Romans were a clean people, sometimes bathing several times a day. Men and Women, free, and slave, all went to the baths. The baths were a combination swimming pool/bar/gym/debating forum/restaurant/shower/art gallery. They had separate hot, cold, and tepid rooms, and oil could be bought, as soap was a rare and expensive commodity. The baths were definitely the most beloved leisure activity of the Romans.

If you want the ancient world's Disney Land, Rome's favorite tourist destination was ancient Sparta. Though they had not had a commanding influence for a long time, the Spartans continued their traditions of culture, performing elaborate dances and music. Even the agoge was still open, though only a couple hundred Spartan men existed during the Roman era. All of these activities were open to tourists, and the Romans loved watching them and their strange customs.
