Detailed itinerary

Stop 1

Step into the heart of Ancient Rome with the Colosseum, the largest amphitheater ever built in the Roman Empire. Inaugurated in 80 AD, this iconic monument hosted gladiatorial combats and grand public spectacles that shaped Roman history. Through augmented reality, the monument comes to life before your eyes—revealing the arena as it once appeared, the towering tiers filled with spectators, and the impressive architectural details of this ancient masterpiece. This immersive experience blends history with modern technology, allowing you to explore the Colosseum from its public levels and see beyond the ruins into its glorious past.

Stop 2

Discover the political, religious, and social heart of Ancient Rome at the Roman Forum. Once the center of public life, this vast complex of temples, basilicas, and triumphal arches witnessed elections, speeches, religious ceremonies, and daily commerce. With augmented reality, the ruins are digitally reconstructed, allowing you to see the Forum as it appeared over 2,000 years ago—with marble buildings restored, vibrant public spaces, and citizens going about their daily lives. This immersive experience transforms scattered remains into a living city, offering a deeper understanding of how Rome functioned at the height of its power

Stop 3

Explore Palatine Hill, the most legendary of Rome’s seven hills and the birthplace of the Eternal City. According to tradition, this is where Romulus founded Rome in 753 BC. Later, it became the most prestigious residential area of the Roman elite and emperors. Using augmented reality, ancient palaces and gardens reappear before you, revealing the luxury and scale of imperial life. Overlooking the Roman Forum and the Circus Maximus, Palatine Hill offers breathtaking views and a unique journey through Rome’s origins, myths, and imperial grandeur.
