Colosseum, Roman Forum & Palatine Hill Tour
Description
Embark on a journey to Ancient Rome with this exploration: an ideal opportunity to familiarize yourself with the Italian capital, its significant landmarks, and its captivating history. Experience a time span of 2,000 years in just 3 hours!
Tour Details
At the designated hour, we will gather at the specified meeting location in Rome to kick off our tour, which includes three of the top tourist sites in the city!
Our journey begins at the famous Colosseum, the most recognized structure in Rome and the largest amphitheater worldwide. Inside, you will be amazed by its grandstands and vast dimensions, capable of hosting up to 50,000 attendees. Its status as one of the Seven Wonders of the Modern World is well-deserved!
After soaking in the history of this emblematic site, we will proceed to Palatine Hill. Known as the central hill among Rome's seven, it boasts an impressive legacy as the former abode of royalty and emperors. Interestingly, it is believed to have been inhabited since 1,000 BC. From this elevated vantage point, you will be treated to stunning views of the Roman Forum and Circus Maximus, which was once the largest venue for entertainment, performances, and races in antiquity.
The concluding segment of our guided excursion will lead us to the Roman Forum, a representation of the sophisticated social, religious, and political life of Ancient Rome. Walking along the Via Sacra, we will navigate toward the core of the forum, where we can observe the remains of the Temple of Venus, the Temple of Saturn, the Arch of Titus, and the House of the Vestals.
Our exploration, spanning between 2.5 and 3 hours, will conclude with a rich recounting of Imperial Rome's history. Until next time!
