Marvel at the illuminated ruins of the Roman Forum from the outside balconies on your way. See the temple of Castor and Pollux, the Arch of Titus, and the Senate House, and learn about the political and religious life of Ancient Rome. Hear about notorious Emperors and appreciate the emotional contrast between the romantically lit-up city and its violent past.

Continue towards the Trajan's Forum and be impressed by the ruins of its famous Market. Stand in front of the triumphal Column of Trajan and read the emperor's victories sculpted on its spiraling scrolls.
