Mamertine Prison, Colosseum, Roman Forum, and Palatine Hill + Open Bus Panoramic Tour One Run

Journey Through Ancient Rome’s Most Iconic Landmarks

Step into the heart of ancient Rome on a historical journey through some of the Eternal City’s most remarkable archaeological treasures. The experience begins at the Mamertine Prison, located beneath Capitoline Hill, before continuing through the Roman Forum, Palatine Hill, and the legendary Colosseum. Together, these landmarks reveal the layers of history that shaped ancient Roman civilization.

The first stop is the Mamertine Prison, traditionally regarded as Rome’s oldest prison. Once used to hold important prisoners of the Roman Empire, the site is also connected by Christian tradition with Saints Peter and Paul. After collecting your entrance tickets, continue toward the Roman Forum, the ancient center of political, religious, and social life.

The journey then leads to Palatine Hill, one of Rome’s most historically significant elevations and traditionally associated with Romulus and the founding of Rome. From its elevated position, enjoy impressive views across the archaeological area before reaching the magnificent Colosseum. Inaugurated in 80 AD, the iconic amphitheater once hosted gladiatorial contests and spectacular public events for enormous crowds.

After exploring Rome’s ancient landmarks, continue your sightseeing aboard the panoramic Open Bus One Run. Relax on the double-decker bus while taking in views of the Eternal City’s celebrated monuments. Please remember that an original identification document is required to enter the Colosseum Archaeological Park, as photocopies and images stored on mobile phones are not accepted.
