Description

Access the Colosseum Arena Floor, a restricted area where most visitors cannot go. Stand on the sand-covered wooden platform where ancient gladiatorial games took place. Enter through the Gladiator's Gate, historically used to remove fallen fighters and animals. This unique vantage point allows for distinctive photographs and a deeper understanding of the Colosseum’s history and its bloody spectacles.

After the Arena, proceed to the first and second tiers of the Colosseum. The panoramic terraces offer excellent photo opportunities and a privileged view of the monument’s structure.

The tour continues in the Roman Forum, Rome’s ancient political, administrative, and social center. Explore temples, public spaces, and markets that shaped daily Roman life. Visit the Basilicas where trials and famous speeches were held, walk along the Sacred Way used in religious processions, and stop at the Temple of Vesta, where Vestal Virgins maintained the city’s sacred fire.

The final stop is Palatine Hill, reputedly the founding site of Rome in 753 B.C. Discover the residences of emperors, learn about figures like Romulus, Mark Antony, Cleopatra, and Julius Caesar, and experience the grandeur of Ancient Roman life through well-preserved ruins.
