Day 2: Explore the Colosseum, Palatine Hill, and Roman Forum
Hop on the renowned Metropolitana subway to visit the Grand Colosseum. Capture your entry ticket, granting access to the Colosseum, Palatine Hill, and the Roman Forum. To enhance your experience, consider a pre-booked private tour for richer insights into these ancient wonders.
Quench your thirst from the public water fountains sprinkled around as you meander through awe-inspiring architecture. The hike up Palatine Hill offers panoramic views over the Roman Forum and Circus Maximus, creating memorable photo opportunities.
The final stop of your day is the legendary Roman Forum, where history speaks through ancient ruins. Relish a delightful dinner afterward, resting up for your final exploration day.
