Excursions and Local Attractions

All the highlights of Rome, but also daily trips to Florence, Naples and the mediaval villages of Lazio, south tuscan and Umbria. "A day in the Ancient Rome" - the aim of this Tour is to give you an idea, as complete as possible, of what the life of a Roman through different centuries could have been. Starting point: the Capitoline Hill of Rome. Here we'll enter the Capitoline Museums (entrance fee around 8 euro) and reach the remainings of the most important temple of Rome: The Temple of Zeus, Juno and Minerva, already worshipped here from the 7th c. B.C.
Later we are going up the Palatine Hill (entrance fee around 12 euro) and discover the very early huts of the time of Romulus and Remus (7th c. B.C.).
The visit will continue with a walk through the more or less 10-centuries-old remains of the Roman Forum: this is where most of the ancient Romans spent large part of their time: praying, betting, buying and selling, electing their leaders.
