⚔️ Start on the Arena Floor — Where Legends Fought

Your journey begins at the Colosseum Arena , the very stage where gladiators once battled to the death in front of 50,000 roaring spectators.

Walk through the Gladiator’s Gate , and step onto the partially restored arena floor — the same place where warriors, beasts, and emperors made history.

• The roar of the crowd and the political power behind the games

🔦 Go Beneath the Surface — Explore the Underground (Optional Upgrade)

Want to go even deeper? Literally.

Choose the Underground Access option and descend into the hypogeum , the Colosseum’s mysterious underground level. This is where:

• 🐅 Wild animals were kept in cages
• ⚙️ Ancient elevators lifted fighters and beasts to the arena
• 👣 Gladiators waited in the shadows before entering the spotlight

These tunnels were the unseen machine behind the spectacle — and now, you get to walk through them.

This access is limited and highly sought-after, so book early if you want to add this exclusive feature.

🌄 Climb to Palatine Hill — The Birthplace of Rome

After exploring the Colosseum, continue your journey to Palatine Hill , the oldest part of the city and the mythical birthplace of Rome.

Legend has it that Romulus founded the city here after defeating his brother Remus. But beyond the legend, Palatine Hill was home to some of Rome’s most powerful figures — emperors who lived in luxury above the city .

From this vantage point, you’ll enjoy panoramic views of the Roman Forum , Circus Maximus, and the rooftops of modern Rome.

🏛️ Stroll Through the Roman Forum — Heart of the Empire

No tour of Ancient Rome is complete without a walk through the Roman Forum , the bustling hub of daily life for Roman citizens.

Here, you'll explore:

• The ruins of temples, basilicas, and political buildings
• The site of Julius Caesar’s funeral pyre
• The streets once filled with merchants, senators, and philosophers
• The Via Sacra, the main road used during triumphal marches

This is where laws were made, power was debated, and history was written — and now, you’ll stand where it all happened.
