Itinerary and highlights
The Flavian Amphitheatre universally known as the Colosseum remains the quintessential symbol of imperial Rome's engineering might and theatrical grandiosity. Commissioned under Emperor Vespasian around 72 AD and completed under his son Titus in 80 AD, this monumental structure accommodated upwards of 50,000 spectators organized strictly by social hierarchy.
The Roman Forum (Forum Romanum) served as the civic, political, religious, and economic heartbeat of ancient Rome for over a millennium. Situated in the valley between the Palatine and Capitoline Hills, this rectangular plaza transformed from a marshy valley into the bustling urban core where imperial decrees were forged, triumphal processions marched, and elections unfolded.
Ascend to Palatine Hill, the legendary birthplace of Rome. Walk among the sprawling ruins of imperial palace complexes, enjoy quiet garden paths, and take in incredible sweeping views looking down into the Roman Forum and over to the Circus Maximus.
