Rome is one of the most visited cities in the world with over 10 million tourists each year, and it’s easy to see why! It has some of the most extensive remains of ancient civilization in the center and is a must-see for anyone interested in ancient history. Here are three things to do if you have only a weekend in Rome.
Colosseum
The Colosseum is one of the most iconic structures in the world and is one of the main attractions in the center of Rome. It was built almost 2,000 years ago and is the largest ancient amphitheater ever built. With much of it still intact, it is a truly immersive experience and anyone in Rome should pay a visit!
Roman Forum
The Roman Forum is just across from the Colosseum and contains the ruins of some of the most important buildings in ancient Roman history. It is often referred to as the heart of ancient Rome, and walking around it certainly gives a sense of what it would have been like to have lived as an ancient Roman.
Appian Way
If you’re looking to take in some more Roman history whilst also getting a walk and out of the city center, the Appian Way is a great way to walk in the footsteps of the most famous Roman road in history. The Appian Way was a significant route for transporting military supplies and played a major role in the formation of the Roman Empire. Nowadays, there is a walk that takes in lots of important historical sites- but has lots of beautiful nature spots as well.
