This is one of the most beautiful historical sites for ancient ruins in Rome. It’s still in fairly decent condition, it’s fairly large with lots to see. It has a museum you can visit for a fee and you can explore the grounds during the day time. It’s also very nice to walk by at night and see everything lit up. I always enjoy this area as there’s so much to see and do. I would definitely recommend visiting The Imperial Fora and the market close by.
After seeing the Colosseum and Roman Forum, keep walking down the street to check out Trajan’s Column and the “Wedding Cake” monument.
Please note that it is not possible to enter the Imperial Palace from the Roman Forum and Padin Hill after 3:15 in the afternoon. Therefore, those who buy the pass must visit early and pay attention to control the time of each part of the tour.
I didn't explore the ruins from close, but they are very much and easily visible from the road itself. The Imperial forum is on both sides of the road, and majority of the attractions can be seen from the road itself like Basilica of Maxentius, Caesar's forum, Trajan's Market, Trajan's Forum and Trajan's column.
Fori Imperiali is an amazing place to visit in Rome. This ancient Roman forum was built by the emperors of Rome and consists of numerous ruins that you can look at and admire. The magnificent view of the Colosseum is visible from the Fori Imperiali area. I strongly recommend visiting this place if you are planning a trip to Rome.
I do not recommend purchasing tickets for the Imperial Fora. Instead, I recommend visiting Trajan's Market museum for a viewing of the Imperial Fora from atop, then walking the boardwalk along Via dei Fori Imperiali to get the best perspective of the Imperial Fora. Again, I recommend you NOT purchase the Super Pass for the purpose of walking the grounds of the Imperial Fora only because, when on the ground level, you can't visualize which of the forums (see photos) you are actually in. Visualization is best accomplished from atop Trajan's Market museum and the aforementioned boardwalk. The boardwalk has placards that show which of the forums is in front of you (again, see pictures) - I didn't notice any such placards on the Imperial Fora ground level. Just my recommendation...food for thought.
Via dei Fori Imperiali is a unique promenade from Piazza Venezia to the Colosseum, through the area of the Republican and Imperial Forums, the commercial and political heart of ancient Rome. Along the avenue you can admire the plans made on travertine slabs indicating the expansion of the Roman Empire. The lighting system brings the basilicas, colonnades and temples to life.
You can find 4 of Roman’s emperors Augusto, Nerva, Cesare e Traiano. Visit in the night time is magic.
