Itinerary

The Colosseum

Enter the Colosseum through the gladiator’s gate directly onto the Arena Floor. If you truly want to immerse yourself in the Eternal City’s millennia of history, there is no better place to start than the Colosseum Arena Floor. Not only will you be following in the footsteps of gladiators, you’ll also get a 360° panorama from where it was possible to see all 50,000 blood-thirsty spectators with a brilliantly executed narrative from a passionate guide.

The Roman Forum

The roman Forum also known Forum Romanum is a plaza surrounded by the ruins of several important ancient Rome governments buildings at the center of the city. Originally a marketplace, the citizens of the ancient city referred to this place as the Forum Magnum. Dive yourself in the ancient culture to learn the way of life Rome’s predecessors lived.

The Palatine Hill

The Palatine Hill is the only hill from the Seven Hills of Rome situated in the center of Rome. It is the most ancient place of the city, 40 meters above the Roman Forum, looking down upon the Circus Maximus. Augustus Imperial palaces were built here.
