Itinerary

  1. The Colosseum, also known as the Flavian Amphitheater, is an elliptical architecture in the center of Rome. It is the one of the largest construction ever built in ancient Rome. The Colosseum lies quite close to the Roman Forum and the Palatine hill. The emperor Vespasian began the construction of the amphitheater in 72 AD. It was then completed in 80 AD, under the reign of his son Titus.

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.
