The Journey
Colosseum
Step into the Colosseum, the world's largest amphitheater and an enduring symbol of Roman power and spectacle. Imagine the roar of the crowd as gladiators clashed and wild animals battled in the arena. Marvel at the architectural prowess of this ancient wonder, built by Emperor Vespasian to showcase the glory of Rome and entertain its citizens. While external visits are the norm, envision the heart-stopping dramas that unfolded within its walls, a testament to the Colosseum's captivating and sometimes brutal history.
Campidoglio (Capitoline Hill)
Ascend Campidoglio, the most important of Rome's seven hills, along the Via dei Fori Imperiali, traversing the city's vast archaeological heart. Admire Michelangelo's harmonious square, crowned by the imposing statue of Marcus Aurelius. Discover the origins of the name 'Capitoline' as your guide unveils the hill's rich history. Don't miss the breathtaking panoramic views of the Roman Forum from the terrace, offering a unique perspective on ancient Roman life. The Campidoglio is also Rome's City Hall.
Teatro Marcello & Portico d’Ottavia
Descend the monumental staircase designed by Michelangelo to reach the Teatro Marcello, built by Emperor Augustus in honor of his nephew. Explore the remains of the Portico d'Ottavia, a temple dedicated by three emperors, and listen to its captivating stories. This location marks a transition from imperial grandeur to the more recent history of the Jewish Ghetto, offering a glimpse into the diverse layers of Roman history, but that is another tour to explore.
Piazza Bocca della Verità (Forum Boarium)
Visit the Piazza Bocca della Verità, formerly the Forum Boarium, an ancient marketplace that once thrived as Rome's river port. Admire the church of San Nicola, standing on the foundations of three ancient temples, and the visible Bureaux de Change offices in the basement.

Legend says that it will bite off the hand of anyone who tells a lie while their hand is inside. Dare to test your honesty and capture a memorable photo at this iconic Roman landmark.
Circus Maximus
Stand in the Circus Maximus, the largest circus in the ancient world, where chariot races once thrilled vast crowds. Imagine the thunder of hooves and the cheers of spectators as skilled drivers risked everything for victory.

Experience the scale of this ancient arena and connect with the excitement and drama of Roman sporting life.
Aventine Hill & Giardino degli Aranci
