Rome’s Foro

If you’re planning on embarking on a holiday to Rome and you’re looking forward to having an incredible touristy trip, read this quick guide to the most important tourist attractions in Rome. You’ll be able to enjoy one of the luxurious appartamenti roma, in the city centre, which will make your stay even more unforgettable.

The Roman forum is between the Palatino and Capitolino hills, in the heart of old Rome, and to be more precise, in Via dei Fori Imperiali. The Forum is open from Monday to Saturday from 9-6.30 in the evening and on Sundays from 9am-1pm. For more information, you can look at Rome’s tourist website: www.romaturismo.it. After a wake-up call in your appartamento roma, take the B line on the metro (Colosseo station) or one of the following buses: 30, 44, 60, 81, 85, 87, 186, in the direction of the Roman Forums. It’ll take around 5 hours to visit the Forums, the Palatino hills and the Colosseum area, and we advise you to spare a day to have a complete visit of it.

The Roman Forums were the heart of Rome’s social, economic and political life. Repubblica went there for his famous Comitia. This is therefore the place where the Republican government and the senate were born. The ruins tell us a lot about the Romans’ daily life, their private matters and why they then used la Via Sacra to get round. The Roman Forum (the Republic) is the oldest in the Forums. The visual impact is not that great if you go in where the Colosseum or the Capitolino ends. The ruins that surround the forum clearly show which areas of the city where used during the Roman period. The Roman Forum includes a modern statue of Julius Cesar and several other important monuments, buildings and old ruins.

A good way of visiting the Roman Forums is to go round inside, in an anticlockwise direction, starting from the Via dei Fori Imperiali, and then you can stop off to observe the ruins of some of the buildings there and let your imagination take over, so you can try and understand what life was like then and what kind of people the Romans were. You will find a path which goes down from 7 to 21 from the modern street’s level, which leaves from a place which has the Basilica Emilia on the right hand side and the temple of Antonio and Faustina on the left hand side.
