   The Palatine Hill is home to impressive ruins that marvel travelers from around the globe and continues to shrink visitors’ hearts as they wander through this unique urban landscape. It was this hill that Roman emperors chose as the place to raise their luxurious palaces and private mansions. Once you see the views from here, you'll quickly understand why! The activity will finish at the Palatine Hill and you will have free time to continue exploring this vast area on your own after the tour. NOTE: although the regular itinerary is Colosseum-Roman Forum-Palatine Hill, some days it may be inverted due to limited availability at the Colosseum. In such cases, the tour will start with the Roman Forum and will finish at the Colosseum.
