Guided tour of the Colosseum Forum and Palatine Hill
Discover the history of Rome with an expert Guide who will tell you the story of the construction of the Colosseum, begun by Emperor Vespasian in 72 AD.C. and inaugurated by his son Titus in 80 AD.C. The colossus could accommodate between 50,000 and 80,000 spectators, who entered through 80 numbered arches (seats allocated according to social class). It was used for gladiatorial combat, wild animal hunting and even simulated naval battles. The Forum was the hub of Roman public life where markets were set up and trials, elections and religious ceremonies were held. Discover the legend of the Palatine Forum, where Romulus is said to have founded Rome in 753 BC.C.

Where this sits in Rome
Rome is about 33 min by road from Rome Fiumicino Airport. Three thousand years stacked on top of each other, still busy being a capital. Stay central and walk — the Forum, the Pantheon and a dozen churches worth the detour are closer together than the map suggests, and the city rewards wandering more than ticking off.
