Walk to bustling Piazza Venezia and see the imposing Altare della Patria, and follow your guide down the famed Roman Forum mile, which leads to the Colosseum.

Also called Anfiteatro Flavio, i.e. Flavian Amphitheatre, the Colosseum is a giant amphitheatre built in Rome during the Flavian empire. Erected between 70 and 72 BC, under the reign of Vespasian it lies on what used to be part of the grounds of Nero’s Golden House. At that time there was an artificial lake here, which was drained to build the Colosseum.

Follow your guide inside: access will be easy and hassle-free thanks to  exclusive priority entrance tickets. Once inside learn all about this amazing theatre’s features, first and foremost that unlike most other ancient amphitheatres - which used to be built along some sort of hillside to be sure they coils stand up! - the Colosseum is a freestanding structure where stone and concrete are held together by a complex system of vaults...amazing ancient architecture!!! Hear about the gladiators, who fought for rich prizes or their freedom, and see the dramatic tiers from which the crowds used to cheer.

After the visit follow your guide to the Roman Forum, and get ready to be surprised. Walking through this extensive park made of columns and ruins, your guide will be able to show you through that ancient fascinating world, the social, political and commercial life of the Roman empire. Among the other sights you will certainly enjoy seeing Titus’ arch, the temple of Saturn, Vespasian and Antoninus Pius, temples, basilicas and, above all, the public spaces which will lead you straight into the daily life and customs of 2000 years ago.
