Walk in the footsteps of Roman emperors and citizens with your access to the Colosseum and the Roman Forum. Enjoy views over the archaeological site, walk along the Via Sacra and reach the temple that houses the altar where Julius Caesar was cremated and where visitors still leave flowers and candles to this day.

Start your experience at the local operator's office, where you'll enjoy a 25-minute multimedia video about ancient Rome. Then, visit the Colosseum and the Roman Forum and learn all about their history from your professional guide. Once inside the Colosseum, your expert guide will teach you about the amphitheatre's bloody past, with tales of gladiators, mock sea battles, and executions.

Next, discover the highlights of Vatican City by exploring the Vatican Museums and admiring the spectacular Sistine Chapel. Your journey through the Vatican's art and architecture starts at the Vatican Museums. Your guide will lead you to the best galleries to see frescoes, statues, tapestries, and historical maps. You'll also see the Borgia apartment, the Pinacoteca Vaticana, and the beautiful Vatican Library.

Continue to the Sistine Chapel to admire masterpieces by Michelangelo, Botticelli, Ghirlandaio, Pinturicchio, and Perugino. Then, you'll ascend Bernini's Royal Staircase, a masterwork of architectural achievement rebuilt in the 16th and 17th centuries.
