Activity itinerary

Colosseum

  • 1h
  • Admission ticket included
Step Inside the Colosseum: The Heart of Rome Prepare to be humbled. As you approach the massive travertine walls, you’ll crane your neck to take in the sheer scale of the world’s largest amphitheatre. What You Will Do: Walk the Ancient Corridors: Step through the giant archways and tread the same stones as 50,000 screaming Roman spectators did 2,000 years ago. See the "Backstage": From the second tier, look down into the exposed Hypogeum. You’ll see the underground maze of tunnels where gladiators waited in darkness and wild animals were caged before the fight. Feel the Energy: Imagine the roar of the crowd and the tension of the Emperor’s box. Capture the Icon: Stand at the edge of the arena for the definitive photo of your Roman holiday, with the towering ancient arches framing the sky. This isn’t just sightseeing; it’s standing in the centre of history.

Roman Forum

  • 30m
  • Admission ticket included
Walk the City centre of Ancient Rome: The Roman Forum Leave the modern city behind and step into the political and social heart of the Empire. This valley was the marketplace, courthouse, and religious centre of the ancient world. What You Will Do: Stroll the Via Sacra: Walk the ancient "Sacred Way" where victorious generals rode their chariots during Triumphs. The cracked stones under your feet are original history. Visit Julius Caesar: Stand before the humble altar where the most famous Roman of all was cremated in 44 BC. People still leave fresh flowers here today—it’s a powerful moment to be inches from legend. Explore the House of the Vestals: Wander the courtyard of the priestesses who guarded Rome's eternal flame and see their ancient statues lining the garden. See Where Laws Were Made: Marvel at the Curia Julia (Senate House), the remarkably intact building where Senators debated the fate of the known world. This is a true time capsule of civilisation.

Palatine Hill

  • 30m
  • Admission ticket included
Climb to the Top: The Palatine Hill Think of this as the "Beverly Hills" of Ancient Rome. This lush, green hill was the exclusive area where Emperors built their massive palaces to look down on the common people. What You Will Do: Escape the Crowds: Wander through towering umbrella pines and wildflowers in a peaceful break from the city noise below. It feels like a park built on top of a palace. Walk the Imperial Palace: Explore the sprawling ruins of the Domus Flavia. You’ll see the private sunken stadium where the Emperor exercised and entertained his elite guests. See Where Rome Began: Stand near the ancient huts where legend says Romulus founded the city in 753 BC. Get the "Money Shot": Walk to the terrace edge for the absolute best panoramic view of the Circus Maximus (chariot racing track) and the Aventine Hill in the distance. It’s history with a view.
