Colosseum
About the destination
The Colosseum has stood for nearly two thousand years as the emblem of Rome and the largest amphitheatre ever built, once staging gladiatorial combat before tens of thousands. Beside it, the Roman Forum and Palatine Hill preserve the political and imperial heart of the ancient city — temples, triumphal arches and the palaces of emperors. The adjacent Monti quarter, Rome's oldest rione, is a warren of ivy-draped lanes, wine bars and artisan boutiques, making the whole area a magnetic place to stay and explore on foot.
