What To Expect

Colosseum

An enduring symbol of ancient Rome’s power and engineering brilliance, the Colosseum is the largest amphitheater ever built. Completed in 80 AD under Emperor Titus, it once hosted gladiator battles, wild animal hunts, and grand spectacles that entertained tens of thousands of spectators. With its iconic arches and tiered structure, the Colosseum stands as a testament to Roman innovation and imperial grandeur. Today, visitors can explore its vast interior, admire views from the upper levels, and imagine the roar of the crowd in this timeless arena where history and legend meet.

Foro Romano

Once the bustling center of public life in ancient Rome, the Roman Forum was the heart of political, religious, and commercial activity for centuries. Surrounded by temples, basilicas, and monuments, this sacred ground witnessed historic speeches, triumphal processions, and decisions that shaped the Roman Empire. As you walk the ancient Via Sacra, you’ll pass iconic ruins like the Temple of Saturn, the Arch of Titus, and the Curia—where the Senate convened. The Forum’s layered history reveals the rise and fall of Rome, offering a rare glimpse into the soul of an ancient civilization.

Palatine Hill is the legendary birthplace of Rome and one of its most ancient and important sites. According to Roman mythology, this is where Romulus founded the city in 753 BC after a battle with his twin brother Remus. Over time, it became the elite residential area of emperors and aristocrats, boasting opulent palaces like the Domus Augustana and Domus Flavia. Overlooking both the Roman Forum and the Circus Maximus, Palatine Hill offers breathtaking views and a peaceful escape from the city below. As you explore its lush ruins and ancient foundations, you walk through the layers of Rome’s imperial past, where myth, history, and power converge.
