    Itinerario

    1. Colosseum

      *Exterior*

      Your first stop. Outside the amphitheatre, narration opens the tour with how the building worked on a games day: the crowd, the awnings, the machinery beneath the arena floor. Press and hold the screen to see the façade reconstructed as it stood in the 1st century.

    2. Colosseum

      *Interior*

      Optional visit with your own ticket. The audio continues inside with chapters on the hypogeum, the seating hierarchy and the arena floor. If you prefer not to enter, the tour continues seamlessly to the next stop.

      45 minutiIngresso non inclusoVedi sulla mappa

    3. Palatine Hill

      Walk the hill where Rome placed both its legendary beginnings and its imperial palaces. From the terraces above the Forum, discover Romulus, the emperors who transformed the hill, and how the Palatine ultimately gave us the word “palace.” Includes narration from sub-stop at viewpoint of Circo Massimo

      30 minutiIngresso non inclusoVedi sulla mappa

    4. Arch of Titus

      At the head of the Via Sacra, the audio covers the triumph of AD 71 and the menorah carved inside the arch — the spoils of Jerusalem carried through Rome, sculpted where you're standing. (You will need a ticket, included in the same general Parco Archeologico entrance)

      15 minutiIngresso non inclusoVedi sulla mappa

    5. Roman Forum

      See the Roman Forum from a public viewpoint, no admission ticket required. From above, the scattered ruins become a city again as you identify the temples, basilicas and Via Sacra below. A Then & Now reconstruction helps reveal the Forum at its height, making this a perfect alternative for travelers who prefer not to enter the archaeological park.

    6. Roma Termini

      Three surviving vaults of what was once the largest roofed hall in Rome, including the times of Constantino. The audio explains how the building stood and what it held, and the reconstruction restores the missing roof above you.

      12 minutiIngresso non inclusoVedi sulla mappa

    7. Via Sacra

      The main street of ancient Rome, walked inside the Forum with your own ticket. Narration follows the road as triumphs did: prisoners, spoils and generals moving toward the Capitoline, over paving stones still rutted from traffic.

      8 minutiIngresso non inclusoVedi sulla mappa

    8. Roman Forum

      The house of the priestesses who guarded Rome's sacred flame. The audio covers who the Vestals were, the privileges and the punishments, and how the ruins of their courtyard and statues fit together.

      10 minutiIngresso non inclusoVedi sulla mappa

    9. Stand at the political heart of the Roman Republic, where speeches could sway a city and change history. This was Rome’s great public stage for persuasion, celebration, accusation… and sometimes brutal political revenge.

      8 minutiIngresso non incluso

    10. Roman Forum

      At the western end of the Forum, the audio unpacks the Severan dynasty, the campaigns carved into the reliefs, and the name that was chiselled out of the inscription... and why.

      10 minutiIngresso non inclusoVedi sulla mappa

    11. Roman Forum

      The Senate House, one of the best-preserved buildings in the Forum. Narration covers what happened in this room, how the Senate actually worked, and how the building survived by becoming a church.

      15 minutiIngresso non inclusoVedi sulla mappa

    12. Piazza del Campidoglio

      Michelangelo's piazza, laid over the most sacred hill of ancient Rome. The audio connects the Renaissance square underfoot to the Temple of Jupiter that once crowned it, with views back over the Forum.

      15 minutiIngresso gratuitoVedi sulla mappa

    13. Trajan's Market

      The brick tiers of what's often called the world's first shopping complex. Narration covers Trajan's Forum, the engineering of the hillside, and how the column beside it told a war story in stone. (Free view from outside)

      15 minutiIngresso gratuitoVedi sulla mappa

    14. Trevi Fountain

      Rome's most famous fountain, and the ancient aqueduct still feeding it. The audio follows the water from the Aqua Virgo to the Baroque theatre in front of you, with the crowd, the coins and the ritual explained.

      20 minutiIngresso gratuitoVedi sulla mappa

    15. Spanish Steps

      The great staircase between the piazza and Trinità dei Monti. Narration covers Grand Tour Rome, the foreign artists and poets who lived on these steps, and Bernini's sinking-boat fountain at the bottom.

      15 minutiIngresso gratuitoVedi sulla mappa

    16. Largo di Torre Argentina

      Four Republican temples sunk below street level, viewed from the railing at no cost. The narration explains what stood here -including the portico where Caesar was killed- and why the site is now also famous for its cats.

      15 minutiIngresso gratuitoVedi sulla mappa

    17. Pantheon

      *Exterior*

      The best-preserved building of ancient Rome, seen from the piazza. Narration covers Agrippa's inscription, Hadrian's rebuild, and how the portico once met a very different square. Press and hold to see it as it stood.

      20 minutiIngresso gratuitoVedi sulla mappa

    18. Pantheon

      *Interior*

      Optional visit with your own ticket. Inside, the audio moves to the dome and the oculus: how the concrete was engineered, why the opening was never closed, who rests there and how the building has stayed standing for two thousand years.

      25 minutiIngresso non inclusoVedi sulla mappa

    19. Piazza Navona

      The shape of the square is the shape of the stadium beneath it. The audio traces Domitian's arena under your feet, then Bernini's fountain above, with a reconstruction of the racing track that became a piazza.

      20 minutiIngresso gratuitoVedi sulla mappa

    20. Campo de' Fiori

      A market square by morning and a meeting place by night, with a darker past. The audio covers the executions once held here and the statue of Giordano Bruno standing where he was burned in 1600.

      12 minutiIngresso gratuitoVedi sulla mappa

    21. Hadrian's mausoleum turned papal fortress, seen from the Ponte Sant'Angelo. The audio traces its lives -imperial tomb, refuge, prison- with Bernini's angels lining the bridge in front of you. Interior visits require a separate ticket.

      20 minutiIngresso gratuito

    22. *Extra*

      An optional encore beyond the city centre, on the road that carried Rome's armies south. Narration covers the engineering of the paving, the tombs lining the route, and what it meant to leave the city by this gate. (Best way is to drive or get a taxi there)
