Guided Group Tour: Colosseum, Palatine Hill & Roman Forum

Itinerary

1
Arch of Constantine
Pass by
Meet your guide in the shadow of a triumphal arch. Built in the 4th century CE, this monument commemorates Emperor Constantine’s defeat of his rival, Maxentius. It is one of ancient Rome’s best-preserved triumphal monuments and stands just a short walk from the Colosseum.
2
Colosseum
1h
Save hours standing in line and step straight inside the Colosseum with speedier access. Your expert guide will transport you back to the times of the Roman Empire. Expect fascinating facts and masterful storytelling. Discover what it was really like to watch gladiator fights and beast hunts. Learn how the Colosseum was built and how state-of-the-art engineering and technology made the games possible. Over the course of an hour, you'll fully explore the first and second levels of the Colosseum, with plenty of stops at the best photo spots!
3
Via Sacra
Pass by
Follow in the footsteps of the Caesars as you walk the Via Sacra (Sacred Way). This was the route victorious generals and their legions took into the Roman Forum, parading their spoils and captives to the crowds. But before you make your way into the Forum, you'll be climbing the hill where it all began...
4
Palatine Hill
30min
Your next stop is the hill where Rome was founded. According to legend, it was here that Romulus killed his twin brother Remus before founding the Eternal City in 753 BC. The Palatine Hill gives us our word “palace” because it was home to Rome’s rich and powerful. Explore the remains of the imperial palaces and imagine the luxury of ancient Rome. The sprawling ruins, towering pine trees, and spectacular views of Circus Maximus and the Roman Forum make this a truly memorable experience.
5
Roman Forum
45min
The last stop on your tour takes you into the heart of the ancient city. Discover what life was like for everyday Romans as you explore the social, religious, and political hub of the Roman Empire. Marvel at the remains of 2,000-year-old temples, triumphal arches, basilicas and much, much more as you tread the same stones as Caesar and Cicero once did.
