Description

Report to the Touristation Office at Aracoeli located at Piazza d’AraCoeli 16, near the entrance to the Archaeological Area of the Roman Forum and Palatine Hill.

The Touristation Office is equipped with all the services to welcome tourists: free Wi-Fi, restrooms, ATMs, vending machines, and additional services dedicated to vulnerable individuals. You will be welcomed by a dedicated and multilingual staff who will provide you with all the information to make the most of your stay in Rome. Start your experience with a 30-minute multimedia 3D video created by a company that has produced videos for UNESCO, the BBC, and National Geographic: it will transport you to the iconic places of Rome, offering you a detailed view of what the city looked like during the Roman Empire. You will appreciate this experience when you later walk among the ruins of the Roman Forum and Palatine Hill and enter the magnificent Colosseum.

Next, you will be accompanied by the dedicated Touristation staff to the entrance of the Roman Forum to assist you with the security and ticketing procedures. Inside, explore the ruins of the Roman Forum: a place that tells the history of Rome through the centuries, once the vibrant center of the public, political, social, and religious life of the city. You will see remains of temples, basilicas, and monuments that hosted crucial events in Roman history. Along the way, you will have the opportunity to closely observe the architectural remains and understand Roman engineering and art. Let your imagination transport you back in time to an era when this place was the heartbeat of Rome. Continue your visit by heading to Palatine Hill, the site of the founding of ancient Rome and where the most important emperors and kings built magnificent palaces. As you walk among the ruins, you can imagine the daily life of the emperors and Roman nobles who lived here.

Conclude your visit to the Archaeological Park with the entrance to the Colosseum (the entrance time is about two hours after your reservation time), one of the most famous monuments in the world, an eternal symbol of Rome and its glorious history. Explore the immense amphitheater, the largest ever built by the Roman Empire. Don’t forget to look up at the tall arches that rise majestically, testifying to timeless architecture. The games and battles that once animated this place still echo among the stones, making every step a journey back in time.

Continue with the attractions included in your offer: with augmented and virtual reality headsets, the Circus Maximus comes to life. You will see the life of the ancient valley unfold before your eyes, stroll through the Roman shops, and witness a chariot race with cheers of encouragement and overturned chariots, in a continuous connection between the present and the past. Travel through time and immerse yourself in the fervor of an era when this place was the beating heart of ancient Rome's games and challenges.
