It was incredible to imagine what ancient Rome looked like. We bought the combo ticket for the Colosseum, Forum, and Palatine Hill online about a month before our trip. We avoided all lines and walked to the front and scanned our tickets. Beware of the tour guides at the Colosseum. One tried to tell me that I still had to... More

Be aware if you visit the Palatine Hill and the Forum that they are big and require a lot of time a good feet but well worth the effort. The funny thing that happened to me on the way to the Forum was to see a queue of men outside a loo. It would appear that urinals are in short... More

Unless you are an expert in Roman history and archeology a guide is a must for this site. The ruins are confusing and not well labeled.
