What To Expect
Colosseum
The Colosseum, also known as the Flavian Amphitheatre, is one of the most iconic landmarks of ancient Rome. Constructed between 72 and 80 AD under the emperors Vespasian and Titus, it was designed to host spectacular public events, including gladiator games, animal hunts, and dramatic performances. With a capacity of over 50,000 spectators, the Colosseum reflects the grandeur and engineering brilliance of the Roman Empire. Today, it remains a powerful symbol of Rome’s rich history and a must-see destination for visitors from around the world.

Foro Romano
The Roman Forum was the political, religious, and social center of ancient Rome. Developed over many centuries, it became the site of temples, basilicas, and public spaces where citizens gathered for legal proceedings, markets, and important ceremonies. Surrounded by some of the city's most significant monuments, the Forum offers a fascinating glimpse into the daily life and grandeur of the Roman Empire. Walking through its ruins today, visitors can experience the echoes of history at the very heart of ancient civilization.
1 hour • Admission Ticket Included
Palatine Hill
The Palatine Hill is one of the most ancient parts of the city and holds a special place in Roman mythology and history. According to legend, it was here that Romulus founded Rome in 753 BC. Over time, the hill became the residence of emperors and aristocrats, adorned with lavish palaces and gardens overlooking the Roman Forum and Circus Maximus. Today, the Palatine offers visitors a unique blend of myth, history, and breathtaking views—an essential stop for anyone seeking to understand the origins and evolution of the Eternal City.
