Itinerary

1. 1

   Colosseum

   1h 40min

   Enjoy the most exclusive areas of the Colosseum, where most visitors cannot access: the COLOSSEUM ARENA FLOOR. It was the central sand-covered wooden platform where the fights took place (‘arena’ was the Latin word for ‘sand’). You will access through the special Gladiator's Gate of Death, where dead gladiators and animals were once carried away. Have your camera ready to take amazing pictures on the Colosseum: from the Arena floor you will have a 360-degree views of the Colosseum. After visiting the Arena floor, the tour will continue on the first and second tiers of the Colosseum. Here, the panoramic terraces will give you an excellent opportunity to take more stunning photos and admire the monument from a privileged position. Learn more about its history, the bloody games it hosted, and loads of anecdotes and curiosities. For example, why is the Colosseum called Colosseum?

2. 2

   Roman Forum

   30min

   Your tour will then lead you on a journey through history, visiting the area of the Roman Forum and the Palatine Hill. The Roman Forum was the political, administrative and social heart of Rome, today one of the most extraordinary archaeological areas, where the illustrious past of the city echoes in the suggestive ruins of its ancient monuments. Explore the public spaces, sacred temples and market areas where the daily life of the Romans unfolded. Admire the the Basilicas in the Roman Forum where the great administrative trials took place and the great orators made their famous speeches. Walk along the Sacred Way where the religious processions paraded; pause in the Temple of Vesta where the Vestal Virgins guarded the sacred fire of the city and kept it alight. History has never been so alive!

3. 3

   Palatine Hill

   20min

   Finish your journey through history among the majestic ruins of the Palatine Hill, where Romulus is said to have founded the city in 753 B.C. You will discover the glorious past of Rome, the life of Mark Antony, Cleopatra, Julius Caesar, the luxurious residences of Roman emperors and their daily life.
