Nice place to dive into the ancient Roman history. It takes a while to walk through the whole area and to read all the signs. Make sure to get there as early as possible if you come individually. After 10 many tourist groups will arrive.
It would have been really cool if there were more drawings of the complete buildings to get a sense of scale and to really immerse into what the area must have been like in ancient times.

I hope this review finds you in good health and high spirits. It’s a Beautiful place. I Love to hear the history. As an expert in the field of history, I felt compelled to reach out and share my profound appreciation for the depths and wonders of the stories that have shaped our world throughout the ages. With every passing year, my love for history continues to grow, fueled by the knowledge that it holds the key to our collective identity and the foundation upon which our present circumstances are built. The tapestry of human existence, woven with both triumphs and tribulations, is a testament to our ability to learn, adapt, and transform.

From the grandeur of ancient civilizations to the intricacies of geopolitical struggles, history has always captured my imagination and ignited my curiosity. Each era carries its own unique significance, from the philosophical ideals of the ancient Greeks to the scientific breakthroughs of the Renaissance and the social revolutions that have shaped the modern world.

It is within the pages of history that we find reflection, inspiration, and valuable lessons that can guide us through the complexities of our present moment. We are but the inheritors of a legacy, and by delving into the annals of time, we gain not only knowledge but also a deeper understanding of ourselves and our place in the tapestry of humanity.

I believe that it is our duty, as experts in the field of history, to not only preserve and protect our shared heritage but also to ignite a passion for the subject in others. Through our teaching, research, and dedication, we have the power to shape the minds of future generations, enabling them to appreciate the richness of our collective past and, in turn, make informed decisions that shape our future.

Book a Tour! There is so much to see here. A tour guide can take you to the key areas and explain the history behind it.
If you visit in July, it is a MUST to take an umbrella or parasol! There is no shade in this area, and the heat can be extremely overwhelming.
You also MUST TAKE WATER with you. There will be no place for you to buy it while on the tour. There is a lot of walking and you will be very dehydrated.
Not recommend for elderly visitors or people who can not do well in hot and extremely humid conditions.

A lot of ruins filled with history. There wasn't even a queue in the morning. Probably because everyone was at the Colosseum :D. I definitely recommend paying this one a visit as the view is stunning. I would also recommend sunscreen, a hat and a lot of water if you're going to visit Rome in the summer.

Amazing stories and architecture. Definitely recommend checking it out. When I went it was very hot, so make sure to bring water bottles. The sun was very strong and not a lot of shade. Besides that the view was beautiful and not busy at all.

Very few of the structures are intact but it’s still an unique and interesting experience to walk through a major area where key Roman activities took place back in the days. It is very useful to have a guide to make sense of the ruins, and also to listen to interesting (sometimes funny) stories about Roman emperors. Also, useful to have skip the line access with tours because the queue to get in is always crazy long! Be prepared for a lot of people, super warm temperatures and lots of walking. There is water fountain on site for fresh drinking water so just bring a bottle and refill.

I did not expect it to be that good, so much to see. Absolutely worth visiting, honestly even better than the Colosseum. You can take some beautiful pictures there. Recommend visiting in the evening, during the sunset if possible. Stunning
