The Colosseum is an ancient Roman amphitheatre, world-famous for hosting gladiator battles, public spectacles, and even mock naval battles. Completed in 80 A.D., it could hold up to 80,000 spectators and remains one of the most iconic symbols of Ancient Rome.

After the Colosseum visit, your guide will accompany you to the entrance of the Roman Forum, where you can continue your exploration at your own pace with our immersive audio guide.
Alternatively, you can take a break and return to visit the Forum and Palatine Hill later, before closing time.

The Roman Forum was the political, commercial, and religious center of Ancient Rome, home to temples, basilicas, and public buildings. It was the backdrop for key events like political debates, legal proceedings, and religious ceremonies.

The tour also includes Palatine Hill, one of the legendary Seven Hills of Rome. According to myth, this is where Rome was founded. It later became a prestigious residential area for emperors and the elite. The ruins here include remains of imperial palaces and temples and offer panoramic views of the Forum and Circus Maximus.

Together, these sites offer a deep and powerful insight into the grandeur and complexity of Ancient Rome.
