    The Roman Forum at dusk
    Eloy Y.

    Located in a former marshy valley separating the Capitoline and Palatine Hills, the Roman Forum is a rectangular plaza that evolved from a cemetery to a marketplace and then into a monumental center with government buildings, temples, and basilicas. It is the heart of ancient Rome, serving as the center for political, religious, commercial, and judicial activities. Included with Colosseum tickets, my partner, our friends, family member, and I entered and walked among the ancient temples, arches, and ruins, giving a real sense of what life was like in imperial Rome. Because it's so vast, it never feels too busy despite all the visitors there. Exploring freely without a guide gave us the space to really soak it all in. Most of the roads were uneven stones or dirt roads with frequent stairs, too. At the top, Palatine Hill is a massive archaeological site that was once the home of many Roman emperors. The word "palace" derives from the word "palatine" since this was where the emperor's palaces were. The best areas are up on the highest levels. The views were wonderful, seeing the entire Forum and Rome. Each site has its own history, and it's worth either taking a guided tour or downloading an audio guide to fully appreciate what one's seeing. This is a must-visit for anyone interested in history. It's awe-inspiring, humbling, and truly brings ancient Rome to life.

    Be prepared to come for a hike if you want to cover all the corners and to see everything. The distance is quite long and can be tiring. It took about 3 hrs to cover some major features of this roman forum. It would have taken longer and it would have been more exhausting to cover everything. We were tired so we gave up and exited. The view is majestic and the architecture is full of details and its surprising that it was done centuries ago... Definitely worth coming to this place!

    So much to see and so much to do once you are done with the colosseum next door It has a museum and so many ruins to walk about and hike lol I mean wear comfortable shoes and be careful as it's uneven and slippery at times and it was sprinkling a little that day but I love that there are all the free water fountains to refill a bottle of water This is a big chunk of your day or all day if you do this with the colosseum A lot of people at times but the sites really make you think and contemplate

    This is where ruins go to mingle and tourists go to sweat. It's like walking into a really confusing group chat from 2,000 years ago, where nobody deleted their messages and everyone spoke in Latin. Once the bustling epicenter of Roman life including politics, religion, business, betrayal, casual and often stabbings, you know, it's now a glorified rock garden with excellent tourism advertising. And don't worry if you can't tell your basilica from your bathhouse, just follow the nearest tour guide waving a flag and shouting dates no one's writing down. Definitely go see this chaotic, sun-drenched maze of broken glory, ancient gossip, and just enough signage to keep you confused in 4+ languages. Just remember, you are not the problem if nothing makes sense.

    The Roman Forum is near the Colosseum and you can enter if you visit within 24 hours using your Colosseum ticket. The grounds cover a fairly large area and can be warm if toured in middle of day. We used an audio tour to provide more information about the different ruins. It's amazing to see all the different structures. The Forum was government buildings,temples, also later on churches. Bring bottle of water, there are fountains to refill. Worth touring, just be prepared for standing and walking a lot if you combine the Palatine and Forum together.

    So fascinating to see this! Total must see. It's crazy to think that only 25% is left of what was originally here. Highly recommend taking a tour through. They explain so much more to you than the signs say.

    It is the center of day-to-day life in Rome. We came here after visiting the Colosseum. The ruins are outdoors. We quickly walked around parts of it since it was a hot day.

    The Roman Forum The ruins of Ancient Rome. Literally, takes you back in time. Like you are in the Twilight Zone lol It's so cool though! Tons of fun to walk around and immerse yourself in the ancient ruins. And there's a ton of great photo opportunities! It's just so pretty. You can't go wrong with visiting the Roman Forum! 10/10

    Walking through it feels like stepping directly into ancient history. The scale and ruins are impressive, and the views from different levels give real context to daily life in ancient Rome. It's best explored slowly, allowing time to absorb the history and atmosphere.

    How lucky are we, that we have access to these incredible places in 2024? How fortunate that there are teams dedicated to preserving the structures, the histories, the meanings? And there is so much - SO much - history, meaning and story here. We opted for a guided tour because we wanted to take advantage of their advertised ability to get access to all the places we wanted to get access to (this was a combo tour, the Colosseum and the Forum, and they lied about what they'd be able to do for the tour group.) We were there in mid-August, so it was hot. And crowded. The Forum was much easier to maneuver because of the sheer amount of space available for tourists, but it was still crowded. Our guide pointed out some of the interesting structures, told us some of the history and meaning behind what we were looking at and kept us moving at a decent pace. I do admit that after a while, my mind kind of turned off. Like, I wanted - I so badly wanted - to hear it all and absorb all the history - but the heat, the standing in the sun, my own exhaustion...it all conspired to beat me. After a while, I wandered off a bit, taking pictures of things in the opposite direction of where our tour guide was pointing, zoning out on the things I was seeing. And I'd like to end this post with appreciation for the many water fountains sprinkled around the grounds of the Forum. We definitely took advantage of them, refilling our water bottles every time I saw a fountain, even if it meant breaking from the group to do so. The hydration helped, for sure.

    I really enjoyed the Roman Forum more than I thought I would. I did have a superb tour guide named Barbara that took us around for 90 mins. There is so much history there and I learned so much about the Roman Senate as well. This was the heart of Rome. It was busy in the forum at spots but we went in late October when there aren't as many tourists in the city. Highly recommend buying tickets in advance and getting a tour guide.

    The site was once the political, religious and commercial hub of the Roman empire. The Forum fell into disrepair after the fall of the Roman Empire until eventually it was used as pasture land in the Middle Ages. The area was first excavated few hundreds of years ago, and the excavations continue to this day. I think this place is totally worth visiting as convenient and not far away from the colosseum.

    Martha A.

    Walked around during Independence Day so there were absolutely no crowds around. I went back a different day to explore the inside and it was beautiful. To see it all, do plan to be there for more than a few hours. Once you leave, you cannot re-enter so I do suggest you bring snacks if you can and some water.

I was for sure it was going to be crowded w/ social media influencers and I was correct..it was crowded but don't let that deter you from seeing this historical beauty! Chiesa di Sant' Ignazio di Loyola is known as the "mirrored church" because it has a mirror strategically placed to see the beautiful painted ceiling fresco. (see pics & videos included in this review from my visit on Tuesday 09/30/2025 - at 10:56am) It also has a painted illusion of having a real soaring dome on a flat ceiling - very cool for sure and does make you look twice just to confirm it's indeed an illusion!

My hubby & I took our selfie pic while we were sitting in the pew and used a timer on our phone (see pic included). ---- visit early to avoid the crowds & to fully enjoy your experience at this church Avoid the crowds so you can really take in how detailed and beautiful the architecture and paintings are. Trust me, you'll enjoy your experience so much more w/ less people. ---- it's free to visit but do bring some money w/ you to give as an offering --- just a reminder to be respectful when visiting because it is a holy place Chiesa di Sant' Ignazio di Loyola truly is something special and of the MANY Rome basilica's I've explored during my 2 visits to Rome, it is now my FAVORITE basilica thus far.

It's an incredible building that's been in continuous use for almost 2,000 years. No Roman ruin, the Pantheon, but a marvel of ancient ingenuity pulled forth into the 21st century. Beautifully preserved and, with its layers of history, particularly emblematic of Rome. The exterior is striking, with the one-two of the grand columned portico and the enormous rotunda. There's an significant-looking inscription across the portico, with M·AGRIPPA·L·F·COS·TERTIVM·FECIT written in giant letters. They apparently translate to "Marcus Agrippa, son of Lucius, made this building when consul for the third time," a hilarious thing to have stamped on a historic landmark in size 1,000,000 font. The Pantheon is in the Piazza della Rotunda, which is also home to the Pantheon obelisk, one of Rome's thirteen ancient Egyptian obelisks. Roaming the piazza and seeing the Pantheon from the outside is free, but it's worth the small expense and hassle to see it from the inside. We visited on our last day in Rome, having already been to the Vatican and the Colosseum on guided tours. The Pantheon was easy enough to navigate on our own, and we were able to walk in without much trouble on a Saturday afternoon in November. The piazza was busy, more crowded than almost anywhere else we went on our trip, but the line to get tickets was manageable. (I will note that there are different lines for cash and credit card and the signage is not that apparent. We lost a few minutes in the wrong line.) We were inside within about twenty minutes. Almost two millennia after it was built, the Pantheon still holds the record for the world's largest unreinforced concrete dome. It is a staggering piece of architecture, massive and majestic, an implausible freak of a monument. The coffered ceiling is spectacular, the recesses creating a geometric pattern that looks, from some angles, almost fake and two-dimensional. At the center of the dome is an uncovered oculus. It had been raining when we visited, and there was rainwater on the marble floor, roped off to protect clumsy tourists. The Pantheon felt like it was mostly dome, but the other elements were noteworthy too, plenty of sculpture and multi-colored marble. There are some important tombs, the most famous belonging to Raphael, who requested to be buried at the Pantheon. A pretty primo resting place. Unless you hate history and art and should have booked yourself a different trip, you have to see the Pantheon when in Rome. It's an amazing place, unlike anywhere else in the world.

You have to see it before you die. No photograph, no movie, can fully conjure the real thing. Its scale, its majesty, the psychic bridge it provides to a violent and fascinating past. Standing in the Colosseum is about as close as I've gotten to time travel. We booked a three-hour tour with Crown Tours, covering the Forum, Palatine Hill, and the Colosseum. This was definitely the way to go. I loved both the simplified logistics and the live, on-site history lesson. That said, if you're not the guided tour type, the Colosseum does kind of speak for itself. We went around noon on a Friday during low season, when it was busy but nowhere near peak crowding. I imagine a summertime visit with kids would be pretty uncomfortable. But the Colosseum is worth a fair amount of physical suffering. Maybe not being mauled and eaten by lions, but definitely a little body odor and heat. The Colosseum is both the largest standing amphitheater in the world and the largest ancient amphitheater ever built. These may be the least surprising facts I've ever read on Wikipedia. The place is named for its colossal size, and honestly that alone would make it worth visiting. The size, though, is maybe its third or fourth most notable feature. The architecture is iconic. I was about to start describing it, but everyone knows what the Colosseum looks like: it looks like the Colosseum. It looks both more and less like the Colosseum up close and from within. I don't remember the striations in the travertine walls from any history books. The interior is breathtaking. Our guide sat us down and we gawked at the tiered seating and arena of this enormous world wonder, a place that once accommodated some 50,000 spectators for any given event, where an estimated 400,000 people and a million animals met violent ends. It's kind of wild that any of this was a) allowed and b) how people got their kicks, but the enthusiasm for brutality is comprehensible enough in 2025. I know exactly who would be in the stands with popcorn, watching people whose lives hold no value for them fighting to the death. Our tour ended on the ground floor of the Colosseum, and we wandered the upper level on our own, looking down at the arena and the exposed underground, which required its own ticket and didn't seem to have many visitors. We visited the gift shop and bought a postcard for our kids, though I don't quite know how to explain this place to our five- and three-year-old sons. I hope to bring them in person one day, when they're older and more knowledgeable about the ways of the world. There might be heat, there might be crowds, but they'll have to see the Colosseum.

It contains four Roman Republican temples and the remains of Pompey's Theatre, apparently the first permanent theatre to be built in Rome, completed in 55 BC. Julius Caesar was assassinated at Pomepy's Theatre, so I guess even if it didn't happen within the square, it was certainly close enough. Two thousand years and change later, Largo di Torre Argentina became an official cat sanctuary, with a shelter opening in 1993. My husband visited Rome in 1997 and remembers seeing cats everywhere. He says there are noticeably fewer now, and I think we only saw one when we visited this square. Though did I see a cat, or do I just know, reading about the place now, that I was maybe supposed to see one? I honestly can't say. But in my mind, I can picture a cat, fluffy and grimy, resting by the fence. The picture of Caesar is less defined, but I can see him there too, leaving his blood in the square.

    This open-air historic site includes (1) the ruins of the ancient Roman building where Caesar was…read moreassassinated and (2) cats. You can see most of the cats (and ruins) from the perimeter of the site. However, if you want to go down to ground level and get a closer look at the ruins and some signs explaining what you're looking at, you can get an entry ticket for €7. The cats are pretty friendly and may approach you.
