Itinerary

Trajan's Market was built in 113 AD and has said to have been the world's oldest shopping mall. The shops and apartments were built in a multi-level structure and it is still possible to visit several of the levels. Highlights include delicate marble floors and the remains of a library
45 minAdmission included
Trajan's Column is a triumphal column that commemorates Roman Emperor Trajan's victory over Romania. It was completed in AD 113 and it is most famous for its spiral bas relief, which artistically represents the wars between the Romans and Dacians. The structure is about 30 metres high and is made of Cararra marble.
20 minAdmission included
Trajan’s Forum was the last of the Imperial fora to be constructed in ancient Rome. It was a multipurpose space, centrally located, surrounded by public buildings and colonnades that served as a public gathering place
20 minAdmission included
The Forum of Nerva was the fourth and smallest of the imperial fora. Constrcuted in 85 AD by Emperor Domitian but officially completed and opened by his successor, Nerva, in 97 AD, hence its official name. This street had long served as a market area, especially for booksellers and cobblers; the new forum continued to serve as both a thoroughfare and as a monumental entrance to the larger Roman Fora.
20 minAdmission included
In the Forum of Augustus you can see the Temple of Mars Ultor, built to commemorate Augustus’ victory in 42 BCE at the Battle of Philippi over the assassins of Julius Caesar. It was the place where important military decisions were made and a site for state ceremonies.

About Rome

Rome layers nearly three thousand years of history into one walkable city, from the Colosseum and Forum to Baroque piazzas and Vatican art.

Ancient Rome is still in plain sight. The Colosseum, the Roman Forum and the Palatine Hill sit together at the city's heart, the Pantheon still stands with its open oculus, and fragments of temples and aqueducts turn up between apartment blocks. Across the Tiber, Vatican City holds St Peter's Basilica, the Vatican Museums and Michelangelo's Sistine Chapel ceiling.

Top-ranked sights in Rome: Colosseum, Vatican Museums, Sistine Chapel.
