2. Colosseum

Get off the tourist trail at the Colosseum and use the special entrance to enter the normally inaccessible arena floors for views of the gladiators. You can't get close to the action. On the arena floor, people actually fought and died in the Coliseum. Most visitors can only see it from the stand, but they bypass the long general entrance line and enter directly from the special gladiator gate. When you marvel at the magnificent amphitheater around you, your expert guide will give you about 2,000 years ago to malicious blood sports, which was the most popular form of entertainment in Rome. Share the story to bring back. During the tour, you will also explore the rest of the Colosseum, such as the ground floor and the Roman Forum.

3. Palatine Hill

Head to the Palatine Hill to learn about the history of the Roman Empire. Through the stories and anecdotes of your experienced guide, the ruins come to life and you have no problem imagining the heyday of this incredible civilisation.

4. Roman Forum

Visit the Roman Forum to learn about the Roman Empire's history. The ruins come to life through your knowledgeable guide's stories and anecdotes, and you have no trouble visualising the glory of this great society.
