Explore the ancient city of Rome, where ruins abound at almost every corner and fascinating history can be uncovered in nearly every building you visit. Enter the enormous Colosseum to discover the legends of the gladiators that once fought here, and wander through the rubble of the Roman Forum.

Begin your tour by meeting your guide in the city and heading to the Colosseum, where you can skip the line on your way inside this world-famous stadium and learn about the events that once took place here. Follow your guide around the oval amphitheater, walking through the stands and getting up-close to the stadium floor where gladiators fought to the death.

Next, skip the line to stroll through the Roman Forum, a rectangular plaza surrounded by ruins of several ancient government buildings that was once the heart of Rome. An archaeological site boasting thousands of stone artifacts and towering columns standing as the only remnants of earlier buildings, the forum is a wonderful place to lose yourself as you roam. Your route continues throughout the city stopping at locations like Capitoline Hill.
