Wander through the ruins of grand temples, basilicas, and public spaces, as your guide reveals the Forum's rich history, from the time of the Republic to the heights of Imperial Rome. You'll learn about the significant events that took place here, the speeches of Cicero, and the processions of triumphal emperors. Marvel at the Temple of Saturn, the Arch of Titus, and the House of the Vestal Virgins, each with its own story to tell. The Forum is a treasure trove of history, and your guide will ensure you don't miss a single detail.

Palatine Hill

the last path of your tour, you'll ascend the Palatine Hill, the legendary birthplace of Rome and a site rich with history and myth. Standing tall above the Roman Forum, this ancient hill was home to emperors, and its ruins offer breathtaking views over the city. As you explore the remnants of imperial palaces, your guide will share the stories of Rome's most powerful rulers and the luxurious lives they led. Discover the Domus Augustana, the House of Livia, and the Stadium of Domitian, all testaments to the grandeur of ancient Rome. The Palatine is also steeped in mythology; it's here that Romulus and Remus are said to have been raised by a she-wolf.
