Itinerary

1. 1

   Colonna Traiana

   20min

   Our tour starts with Trajan’s Column where you’ll pass through Via dei Fori Imperiali overlooking the Roman Forum (closed at this hour), the civic historical centre. Home to the bustling marketplace, ruled by moneylenders and shopkeepers, this was Rome at its finest. Here politicians held rallies before elections, soldiers marched triumphantly down the Via Sacra, and the Vestal Virgins decided if men lived or died.

2. 2

   Roman Forum

   15min

   See a spectacular view of the Roman Forum (from outside). Even the ancient Romans rarely saw the Colosseum like this: empty, peaceful, and cool. But away from the crowds, and with your guide on hand to fill in any details, it’s easy to imagine the arena as it once was.

3. 3

   Colosseum

   1h 20min

   As the Roman Empire expanded, so did the Colosseum’s spectacles. Enter the Colosseum after hours and enjoy a quieter, more atmospheric visit. Depending on the option selected, you may access restricted areas, including the Arena Floor. With fewer crowds and changing light conditions, enjoy excellent photo opportunities and discover ancient graffiti revealing stories of those who lived, worked, and gathered here.
