Colosseum, Roman Forum Experience and Vatican Museums
Overview
Start your experience with a 30-minute multimedia video that will transport you to the iconic places of Rome, showing how the city looked during the Roman Empire.
Then, follow the Touristation staff to the Roman Forum, once the vibrant center of public, political, social, and religious life. Continue to Palatine Hill, the birthplace of ancient Rome and home to the grand palaces of emperors and kings.
Proceed to the Colosseum (entry about two hours after your reservation), one of the world’s most famous monuments and a symbol of Rome’s glorious history.
Finish with the breathtaking Vatican Museums and the Sistine Chapel, where you can admire extraordinary artworks and Michelangelo’s timeless masterpiece.
