Overview
This one-hour tour plunges you into ancient Rome, starting at the Colosseum, symbol of imperial power and Roman spectacle, and ending at the Roman Forum, the political, religious, economic and judicial heart of the city for over a thousand years.
After understanding the role of the Colosseum and how the games were staged, we'll walk along the Roman Forum to see the ancient city under the open sky: temples, basilicas, triumphal arches and public squares.
The tour uses reconstructed images to help visitors imagine the buildings in their original state and understand their function in the daily life of the Romans. Accessible, lively and focused on the essentials, this tour is ideal for those wishing to understand how ancient Rome was organized, how it functioned and how it evolved, in a short, clear format. Please note: the tour takes place outdoors only, with no entrance to the Colosseum or the Roman Forum, but it does give you an idea of their grandeur, function and central role in ancient Rome.
