Palatine Hill

Our tour of Ancient Rome will go beyond the gladiators in an in-depth stroll on the Palatine Hill. Often overlooked by tourists, this was however the very birth place of the Eternal City. It was here that the legendary founder of Rome, Romulus, and his twin brother Remus, were raised by a she-wolf. The lush green hill offers an escape from the heat and hides some of the city’s oldest and most beautiful ruins. We’ll not miss the Flavian Palace, the Baths of Septimius Severus, and the Stadium of Domitian.
