1. Our first stop is the Colosseum, explained and discussed from amazing points from which we can admire all the details and discuss it's history, function, construction techniques and many other details. We do not go inside, as this would take all the time of the tour. We can organize the tour to finish in this point and guests can go inside with all the explanation and information provided right before.

About Rom

Rom samlar nästan tretusen år av historia i en stad som går att upptäcka till fots, från Colosseum och Forum till barockpiazzor och Vatikanens konst.

Det antika Rom syns fortfarande öppet i stadsbilden. Colosseum, Forum Romanum och Palatinen ligger tillsammans i stadens hjärta, Pantheon står kvar med sin öppna oculus och rester av tempel och akvedukter dyker upp mellan flerfamiljshusen. På andra sidan Tibern rymmer Vatikanstaten Peterskyrkan, Vatikanmuseerna och Michelangelos fresker i Sixtinska kapellet.

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