We will guide you inside to admire the arena where gladiators and wild animals fought to the death and explore the intricacies of how such a magnificent structure functioned. You will walk through the Arch of Constantine until reaching the Roman Forum, the cultural and political center of the Ancient Rome, the capital city of the Roman Empire. Standing tall above the forum is the Palatine Hill with its legendary, mythical beginnings of Rome and the site of the emperor’s residences from the time of Augustus.

In the afternoon, after a lunch break in the historical centre of Rome, our expert tour guide will take you through the Baroque part of the city, famous for its piazzas and fountains.
