Roman Forum, Rome

The place you can’t imagine that wonderful city without it. Even so, you will see the ruins of former great buildings and temples it still impress you. The place from where Rome developed. The place was the center of cultural, political and social life. I spent there 4 hours with audio guide. So be prepared at least for half of day adventure. And find time during your visit for this amazing place. I recommend you to book tickets in advance or buy Roma Pass and you will skip the lines what will save you up for two hours. The ticket to forum includes the ticket to Coliseum.

For me it was the highlight of our three day Rome trip. You can easily spend two to three hours there, exploring the beautiful ancient monuments embedded in the surprisingly green landscape. Also it was not too crowded as the place is huge and the crowds got distributed pretty well.. On hot summer days you can find cold drinking water wells all around, a tour guide is recommended but not mandatory.

A visit to the Roman Forum is also a visit to the Palatine Hill. You can easily spend half a day on the location visiting the sites and the different museums. If you really like to have the full experience it's advised to join a guided tour. Since April 2018 there are also the S.U.P.E.R tickets, which give access to locations (among others) as the Palatine museum and Augusts house. A visit in the morning is recommended because its less busy and especially in the summer, less hot. For me it's one of the nicest spots in Rome.

Due to the age of the site, a lot of it is in ruins. I would recommend a tour so you can get a full experience. We used City of Wonders and were pleasantly satisfied. There is so much to see. If you go during the summer be prepared for the heat as there is not much shade and a lot of walking. The history is awesome!

Amazing place to see. There's some awesome historical structures as there are informative texts about some of them. You really get to touch yourself to ancient Rome. There's really nice and scenic trails. There's also tap water and bathrooms along the way. It's definitely worth the money. You can buy ticket in front of the entrance for 12 euro that includes visit of the Colosseum - waiting on the smaller line.
