   Two thousand years of fascinating history come alive at Colosseum, the Ancient Roman arena where the Gladiator fights took place. The Colosseum is an amazing feat of engineering and a testimony to the engineering brilliance of Ancient Rome.

   Arch of Constantine

   The Arch of Constantine is one of several triumphal arches of Ancient Rome, sitting on the plaza just outside the Colosseum. Its location was significant in ancient times, linking the area of the Roman Forum to the major entertainment and public bathing complexes of central Rome.

4. 4

   Circo Massimo

   10min

   The Circus Maximus was the largest stadium in ancient Rome, famous for chariot races (remember the movie "Ben Hur"?) An elongated, elliptical track with a central island, Circus Maximus could seat 250,000 people, one-quarter of Rome's population in ancient times.

5. 5

   Palatine Hill

   10min

   Archaeological findings show that the Palatine Hill was inhabited as far back as the tenth century BC, but it's glory days were at the time of the Roman Empire, when this was basically the Beverly Hills of Rome. Roman nobility had their homes here, including the Emperor, who could watch the chariot races from his palace.

6. 6

   Colle Capitolino

   20min

   The Capitoline Hill is the smallest and most important of the seven hills of Ancient Rome. As the political and religious heart of Rome, the Capitoline Hill became a symbol of Rome's reign as Caput Mundi, capital of the world. Today, we can appreciate the elegant piazza designed by Michelangelo during the Renaissance. From the back side of the hill, you can enjoy an incredible view of the Roman Forum.

7. 7

   Monumento a Vittorio Emanuele II

   Pass by

   Officially known as the Monumento Nazionale a Vittorio Emanuele II, the enormous white marble monument that dominates Piazza Venezia was built as a tribute to the first king of a united Italy, Victor Emmanuel II.

8. 8

   Pantheon

   30min

   Built more than 1800 years ago, the magnificent Pantheon still stands as a reminder of the great Roman Empire. The name Pantheon refers to the building's original function as a temple to all the gods. The structure is famous for its handsome coffered dome, an amazing and mystifying work of architecture and engineering, with a gigantic oculus in the center. KINDLY NOTE: Viewing the Pantheon from the exterior is free. As of July 2023, a ticket is required to visit the interior. The ticket costs 10 euros per person. If you'd like to go inside the Pantheon, please request that we make a reservation for you.
