More Info Read LessThe Colosseum
It's the largest amphitheatre ever built, and it's still standing nearly 2000 years after construction began under Emperor Vespasian in 72 AD. The Colosseum famously held audiences of up to 80,000 who came to see spectacles like gladiatorial contests, animal hunts, executions, theatrical performances, and even mock sea battles. Although depleted by earthquakes and stone-robbers, it's a majestic symbol of Imperial Rome, and a must-see for any visitor to the city. This ticket includes entrance to the Colosseum.
The Roman Forum
Located just a short walk away from the Colosseum, the Roman Forum is a rectangular plaza surrounded by the ruins of many important ancient government buildings, temples, shrines and artifacts. Once the heart of Roman daily life, the Forum was the setting for everything from commerce and criminal trials, to speeches and celebrations. Today it's a sprawling collection of ruined monuments, a living archaelological site where new treasures are still being discovered regularly. This ticket includes standard entrance to the Roman Forum.
Palatine Hill
Between the Roman Forum and Colosseum you'll find Palatine Hill, the centremost of Rome's seven hills, and regarded as the nucleus of the Roman Empire. Once the location of imperial palaces, it is now a large open-air museum, dominated by the Palace of Domitian. Roman mythology also suggests Palatine Hill as the location of the cave where city founders Romulus and Remus were kept alive by the she-wolf Lupa. Wander Palatine Hill to see the ruins of ancient palaces, and pay a visit to the Palatine Museum, home to Ancient Roman artifacts excavated here and at other sites nearby. This ticket includes standard entrance to Palatine Hill.
