The Journey

1

Roman Forum

Step into the heart of ancient Rome at the Roman Forum, the bustling center of political, religious, and social life for centuries. Wander through the evocative ruins of temples, basilicas, and public spaces where orators like Cicero once captivated crowds and emperors shaped the course of history. Imagine the vibrant energy of the marketplace, the solemn processions of religious festivals, and the momentous debates that echoed through these very stones. Visiting the Roman Forum is not just seeing ruins; it's experiencing the pulse of a vanished civilization.

2

Palatine Hill SUPER Sites

Venture beyond the typical tourist trail to Palatine Hill's exclusive SUPER Sites, a curated collection of remarkably preserved ancient wonders. Gain rare access to locations rarely open to the public, revealing the opulent private lives of emperors and the evolution of Roman architecture. Depending on availability, explore the House of Augustus, adorned with vibrant frescoes rivaling Pompeii, or the ancient church of Santa Maria Antiqua, a stunning showcase of early Christian art. Alternatively, discover the Domus Tiberiana, Ancient Rome's first imperial palace. Each site promises an intimate encounter with history, far from the bustling crowds.

3

Colosseum

Enter the Colosseum, the iconic amphitheater that once hosted gladiatorial contests, wild animal hunts, and public spectacles. Bypass the long lines with pre-reserved tickets and ascend to the first and second tiers, where you can almost hear the roar of the crowds and the clash of steel. Picture the drama unfolding on the arena floor – the bravery of the gladiators, the exotic creatures brought from distant lands, and the life-or-death stakes of every battle. More than just a ruin, the Colosseum is a powerful testament to the grandeur and brutality of ancient Rome.
