Saturday March 1, 2008

roman forum pictureAs of March 9, admission to the Roman Forum will no longer be free, according to Tony da Roma on Slow Travel. The current Colosseum and Palatine Hill combination ticket will also include admission to the Roman Forum and will now be valid for two days.

The ancient Roman Forum is a huge complex of ruined temples, basilicas, and arches. It was the ceremonial, legal, social, and business center of ancient Rome. Allow at least two hours to wander around the site. You can get a good overall view of the site from behind the Capitoline Hill museums. The Roman Forum is one of Rome's Top Ancient Sites.
