Learn about the history, features and tales behind the greatest entertainment venue of all times. The construction of the Colosseum, whose official name is Flavian Amphitheatre, was begun around 72 AD and completed in 80 AD.

  • Roman Forum, Rome, Italy
    A stone's throw from the Colosseum, you can find the Roman Forum: the political, religious, judicial and financial center of Rome and all the Roman Empire. This is where a city that once was barely a regional power became the core of the mightiest empire of the ancient times. This is where the Romans shaped the politics, laws and administrative systems that shaped the world we live in today, and affect the way we think about ourselves and our society. As the first core of Rome grew larger on the close by Palatine hill, the Romans started to settle also in the lower areas. The area occupied by the Roman Forum was once only a marshy land, but already under the regal period was chosen as the social, political and religious center of the city. Here you can find some of the most important buildings of the ancient Rome: the house of the Senate, temples, basilicas and much more. Plunge yourself in the heart of the Roman Empire by visiting the Roman Forum!

  • Palatine Hill, Rome, Italy
    Just above the the Roman Forum there’s the Palatine Hill, where Rome was established in 753 BC, 21st of April. This is where the first nucleus of Rome took shape, and where the houses, villas and palaces of the kings, emperors and notable people were. The Palatine hill was chosen by Romulus as it was deemed to be the best of all the 7 hills of Rome thanks to its ideal and central position. The Romans, as other ancient civilizations, tended to choose the high grounds close to rivers for their early settlements. This gave a strategic advantage in case of military attack as well as against the frequent floods of the water streams. Walk on the hill where the history of Rome started from. Learn about the early history of the city, the foundation myth of Romulus and Remus, and how the former managed to become the first king of Rome. Explore the ruins of the once imposing structures of the imperial houses of the emperors of Rome!

    We had a truly fantastic time with our guide Alessandra -time flew for three hours as she gave us a superbly exciting tour of the Colosseum, the Forum and the Palatine Hill. We thoroughly enjoyed the very detailed picture that Alessandra gave us of Roman history, and where all the sites/monuments would fit in -all of this supported by spot-on anecdotes and a full binder of pictures/drawings to help tell the tale ! We were so fortunate to see all the good spots including the arena and underground of the Colosseum on this comprehensive tour so full of surprises SPOILER - the very special lasagna recipe of Alessandra's mum being a really touching one. We can only highly recommend this wonderful experience and would love to spend another 3 hours on a tour with Alessandra in the future.
