Your Itinerary

Colosseum

Prepare to be overwhelmed by the magical atmosphere of Rome after your driver picks you up from your central accommodations. Along the way around the City, you may have some short stops in order to take some photos. Get closer to the main places and monuments in Rome, enjoying the fascinating and magical atmosphere created by the night-time lighting. Admire the enlightened Colosseum. Although partially ruined because of damage caused by earthquakes and stone-robbers, the Colosseum is still an iconic symbol of Imperial Rome and is listed as one of the most important archaeological areas worldwide and one of Rome's most popular tourist attractions.

Circus Maximus

The Circus Maximus (Latin for "largest circus"; Italian: Circo Massimo) is an ancient Roman chariot-racing stadium and mass entertainment venue in Rome, Italy. In the valley between the Aventine and Palatine hills, it was the first and largest stadium in ancient Rome and its later Empire. It measured 621 m (2,037 ft) in length and 118 m (387 ft) in width and could accommodate over 150,000 spectators. In its fully developed form, it became the model for circuses throughout the Roman Empire. The site is now a public park.

Teatro di Marcello

The building was erected in Campo Marzio, in the place that tradition had consecrated to the scenic performances, connected with the temple of Apollo. The project was started by Julius Caesar and taken over by Augustus. Probably completed in 17 BC, Teatro di Marcello was dedicated in 13 or 11 BC to the memory of Marcello, nephew and successor of the emperor, who died in Baia in 27 BC. Teatro di Marcello was still in operation in the 4th century; later it was transformed into a fortress, owned by the Pierleoni and Fabi families. In the 16th century, Baldassarre Peruzzi erected the still existing building, on behalf of the Savelli family and was purchased two centuries later by the Orsini family. It was an impressive theatre with a diameter of 130 metres. 36 bronze vases facilitated the acoustics. The theatre was covered by a "Velario" and had a capacity of 15,000 seats, 20,000 in case of need.

Piazza Venezia

Piazza Venezia is the central hub of Rome, Italy, in which several thoroughfares intersect, including the Via Dei Fori Imperiali and the Via del Corso. It takes its name from the Palazzo Venezia, built by the Venetian Cardinal, Pietro Barbo (later Pope Paul II) alongside the church of Saint Mark, the patron saint of Venice. The Palazzo Venezia served as the embassy of the Republic of Venice in Rome. One side of the Piazza is the site of Italy's Tomb of the Unknown Soldier in the Altare Della Patria, part of the Monument to Vittorio Emanuele II, the first king of Italy. The piazza or square is at the foot of Capitoline Hill and next to Trajan's Forum. The main artery, the Via di Fori Imperiali begins there and leads past the Roman Forum to the Colosseum. Capitalizing on this modern and ancient symbolism--and the useful open space--Piazza Venezia was the location of public speeches given by the Italian dictator Mussolini to crowds of his supporters in the 1920s-1940s.
