Ancient Rome with an expert

Even though the Colosseum and the Arena represent in all the most iconic point of the Roman Empire, the real heart of all was actually just a couple of minutes away. Enjoy another skip the line access to the Roman Forum and start your journey with your expert guide.

Imagine that what now is an area for thousands of visitors each and every day, once used to be the center of a day to day life during the era of the Roman Empire.  The Roman Forum's beginning is actually said to be connected to the story of Romulus, founder and first king of Rome, so as you can tell it's history goes way back before the powerful empire. Be stunned by the many ruins still standing that thousands of years ago were essential for the empire and the many temples, inspired by the greeks. The Forum was not only home to buildings and temples but also to gladiator matches, just like in the Arena, gladiators used to give a show to citizens by fighting aggressive animals or even between themselves. Continue your journey to the Palatine Hill, one of the seven hills of Rome that lays just over the Ancient Roman Forum. Standing 40 meters above the Forum, enjoy the most breathtaking view that Rome has to offer. Discover the many palaces that were built over the years by the powerful Roman Emperors and relax whilst taking a stroll in the magical green area. From the Palatine Hill, which is also the centremost of the seven hills of Rome, get ready to have a beautiful overlook of the Circus Maximus as well.
