Day 1 – Delve into the History

Start your trip by visiting the ancient Roman glories. Go to the Flavian Amphiteatre, now known as the Roman Colosseum, and enjoy the 70AD amphitheater which took around 8 years to build. This was where Gladiator Fights and Executions took place in Ancient Rome.
The Colosseum is probably the most recognised structure in Rome which could hold up to 80,000 spectators.

To make it easier to get to, the Colosseum has its own Metro stop. 
How do you get to the Colosseum?
Take the train from Roma Termini to Colosseo. Line B (Blue) serves this stop. This is a 4-minute trip with the Colosseum a further 2-minute walk being directly opposite Colosseo. Trains run every 10 minutes.
You could also use the Hop-On Hop-Off Bus.

Start your Rome itinerary on the right foot and buy a skip-the-line ticket.

After getting done with it, head towards the Roman Forum, which is a collection of ruins of arches and temples. It is right outside The Colosseum.
Rome Metro stop is Colosseo on Line B (Blue)

For centuries it was the beating heart of daily life in Rome. It was the place to be seen. Gladiators fought battles, politicians gave speeches, criminals stood trial and you could shop your groceries. 
The Forum attracts over 4 million tourists a year!

Stretching your time until afternoon, go to The Pantheon and sigh at the beautiful scenes popping around it. After all, it is known as the most scenic places in Rome. Built more than 2,000 years ago and built as a temple to all gods.

When you’re done with these three sites, thread towards Paneterria and feast on the best gelato in Rome.

You can buy skip-the-line tickets to explore at your own pace or opt for a group tour depending on your time.
