Colosseum and Roman Forum 3-hour guided tour
Travel back to the days of the Roman Empire on a fully guided 3-hour walking tour of the Imperial City and see all the main monuments, starting with the mighty arena of the Colosseum.
Go inside the grand amphitheater, built in the valley between the Palatine, Esquiline, and Caelian Hills. Despite damage by fires, earthquakes, and looting, the Colosseum has survived the centuries and is still the most impressive monument of the Roman period.
Learn about the commercial, religious, political, and legal center of Ancient Rome in the Roman Forum, lying between the Palatine, Capitol, and slopes of the Viminal and Quirinal. A licensed guide will give you a full introduction to the Tabularium, Temple of Concord, Temple of Saturn and Vesta, and Temple of Antoninus and Faustina.
This guided tour goes on with a visit at the Palatine Hill which, for the Romans, had always represented the city’s sacred birthplace. Apart from Temples of Victory, of Jupiter Stator, Jupiter Victor and the Magna Mater, no public buildings were erected there. In 44 BC the Emperor Augustus transferred his home on this magnificent hill and after his kingdom other Emperors used to build their residences there and gradually transformed the whole Palatine Hill into a single sumptuous residence.
From the Palatine Hill terrace, the guide will give you an insight of the Maximum Circus which was used for chariot racing and it can be considered as the largest building ever put up for entertainment purposes.
