Colosseum

Who has not heard of the Colosseum, one of the New Seven Wonders of the World? This
monumental amphitheatre was built between 70 and 80 CE by the Flavian emperors as a gift to the
Roman people. You can step into the arena floor that hosted events like gladiator games, theatre
performances, and even public executions – just make sure you buy tickets in advance to skip the
queues.

Of all the historical places in Rome, the 54 galleries of the Vatican Museums are a must-visit. Explore

galleries such as the four Raphael’s Rooms and the Borgia Apartment. Don’t miss Michelangelo’s
masterpiece at the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel!

bus when you want.
