We bought our Roma passes here and it was well worth it because we planned to visit other historical sites. This pass saves you money and means not waiting in the long queues at the Colosseum! The area is a sprawling site and very interesting but the audio guide was very confusing. Still we had a guide book and various... more

I would advice visitors to get some form of a guide (audio guide, join a tour, or a really good Rome reconstructed book) before entering this attraction. My sisters and I, unfortunately did not have this foresight so we did not get to fully appreciate the significance of the forum remains. We were walking aimlessly in the forum and Palatine... more

We went to this place after purchasing our ticket at the Colloseum across the street. What we did not realize is once you go through the little gate you can not get the audio guide with out hopping back over the fence. So, you basically wasted a good ticket to go see ruins with out really knowing what significance is... more

We bought our combo ticket at the Via San Gregorio entrance and finished our time at the Palatine. We come through the entrance to the Roman Forum. I break out my audio guide and start listening for awhile. I take lots of pictures as usual. Stop at the runs of the temples, stare at the amazing details of the arches,... more

We booked our tour through Real Rome Tours and are very thankful that we did! The Roman Forum is nothing without the history behind it and the tour guide did a great job explaining. Any visitor to the forum will notice that the forum of today is not that of ancient Rome. A tour of the Forum requires a great... more

As many people are noting, it is very confusing without a guidebook or audio tour - something it is hard to know until you get there. Our family just wandered around in the VERY hot sun, feeling confused and annoyed - at the very least you should be given a map of the site with your entrance fees! We had... more

One of the amazing things-to-do at Rome, it's really a masterpiece of ruins. You will appreciate the art, architecture, and history in this place. You can access it using compo ticket for Colosseum , Roman Forum, and Palatine Hill. The gate for entering this place is in 200 meter from the arch of Constantine, you go along the road until... more

We spent hours in the Forum, steeping ourselves in history. The Forum entrance across the street from the Colosseum is now exit-only, so we went to the north entrance at Via dei Fori Imperiali. What a thrill to stand where so much that shaped our modern culture took place! And it was very picturesque this May, with the poppies and... more
