Rome - Ancient Rome (Chapter)
This is the Ancient Rome chapter from Lonely Planet’s Rome 7 guidebook.
In a city of extraordinary beauty, Rome’s ancient heart stands out. It’s here that you’ll find the great icons of Rome’s past: the Colosseum, the Palatino (Palatine hill), the forums, and Campidoglio (Capitoline hill). Touristy by day, it’s quiet at night with few after-hours attractions.
- Getting your first glimpse of the Colosseum. Rome’s towering gladiatorial amphitheatre is both an architectural masterpiece, the blueprint for much modern stadium design, and a stark, spine-tingling reminder of the brutality of ancient times
- maps
- Exploring the haunting ruins of the Palatino, ancient Rome’s most exclusive neighbourhood
- transport
- Coming face to face with centuries of awe-inspiring art at the historic Capitoline Museums
- restaurants & bars
Coverage includes: Neighbourhood Top Five, Local Life, Getting There & Away, Sights, Colosseum & Palatino, the Forums & Around, Campidoglio, Piazza Venezia, Forum Boarium & Around, Eating and Drinking & Nightlife
