Colosseum, Roman Forum and Palatine Hill Experience & Underground of the Roman Houses of Celio

Enter the heart of Ancient Rome and embark on an exciting journey through time. This immersive experience invites you to explore iconic monuments such as the Colosseum, the Roman Forum, the Palatine Hill, and the Roman Houses of Celio.

Please report at Touristation Aracoeli Office, located at Piazza d’Ara Coeli 16, near the entrance to the Roman Forum and Palatine Hill Archaeological Area. The Touristation Office is equipped with all the services for welcoming tourists: free Wi-Fi, restrooms, ATM, vending machines, and additional services for people with special needs. You will be welcomed by a dedicated multilingual staff who will provide you with all the information to make the most of your stay in Rome. Begin your experience with a 30-minute multimedia 3D video (created by a company that has produced videos for UNESCO, BBC, and National Geographic) that visually illustrates how Rome looked thousands of years ago during the Roman Empire and how it appears today. Let the 3D Multimedia Video take you back in time to Ancient Rome. You will appreciate this experience when, later, you walk among the ruins of the Roman Forum and Palatine Hill and enter the magnificent Colosseum.

Afterward, the dedicated Touristation staff will escort you to the entrance of the Roman Forum to assist you with security procedures and ticketing. Inside, explore the ruins of the Roman Forum: a place that tells the story of Rome through the centuries, once the bustling center of public, political, social, and religious life in the city. You will see remains of temples, basilicas, and monuments that hosted events crucial to Roman history. During your tour, 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 beating heart of Rome. Continue your visit towards the Palatine Hill, the site of the founding of Ancient Rome and where the most important emperors and kings built magnificent palaces. Walking among the ruins, you can imagine the daily life of the emperors and noble Romans who lived here.

Conclude your visit to the Archaeological Park with entry to the Colosseum (entrance time is approximately two hours after your reservation), 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 towering arches, majestically standing as witnesses to timeless architecture. The games and battles that once animated this place still echo through the stones, making every step a journey back in time.

Continue with your experience: the Roman Houses of Celio is one of the most fascinating places of underground Rome, holding over four centuries of history and showing the passage and coexistence between paganism and Christianity. The Roman Houses of Celio is a site of high artistic and religious value, where you can admire original frescoed rooms of various sizes, extraordinarily well-preserved.

Feel free to join the english guided tour of the center of Rome (Piazza Navona/Pantheon/Trevi Fountain) at 10:00, which departs every day from the Touristation office at Piazza Navona 25.
