Offer: Tickets to Colosseum, Roman Forum and Palatine Hill + Vatican Museums and Sistine Chapel

Rome is greatness and power incarnate. It was already so in the 1st century BC when, given its unstoppable expansion, it earned the nickname the Eternal City—a place destined to last forever. Today, that grandeur still pulses through its streets, most notably in two key areas: Ancient Rome and the Vatican. This package covers both.

First, there's Ancient Rome: the Colosseum, the Roman Forum, and Palatine Hill (the legendary hill where the city was founded) are its crown jewels. With the tickets included in this package, you'll explore all three. Can you imagine the roar of the crowd at the gladiator games or the bustle of merchants haggling in the Forum?

Then there's the Vatican, that microcosm reminding you—in case you'd forgotten—of the immense power the Catholic Church still holds today. This package includes skip-the-line tickets to the Vatican Museums and a smart audio guide for St. Peter's Basilica (just a short walk from the Museums, and admission is free). The Museums' astonishing collection goes far beyond the Sistine Chapel, so allow plenty of time for masterpieces like the Laocoön sculpture and works by Raphael and Caravaggio.

Yes, we know that's a lot to take in, but don't worry—you have 3 full days to explore at your own pace. Here's how it works, plus a sample itinerary to help you make the most of the experience.

Choose a date on our website calendar for your appointment at the provider's office, where you'll decide what to see that day and over the next two days. With the help of staff, you'll select dates and make reservations for the ticketed sites: the Roman Forum, Palatine Hill, the Colosseum, and the Vatican Museums. We recommend dedicating one day to the first three sites and another day to the Vatican. Here's a sample itinerary:

• Day 1: Visit the office, make your reservations, and begin your experience. Watch the 25-minute multimedia video to get acquainted with Ancient Rome. Then, staff will escort you to the Roman Forum and Palatine Hill for a self-guided visit of about 2 hours. The day's highlight comes next: the Colosseum. Spend as much time as you like exploring this icon at your own pace. (This will be the day you select on the calendar for making reservations.)
• Day 2: The Vatican Museums have so much to offer. Beyond the Sistine Chapel, there are masterpieces you'll want to see up close. Take your time wandering the vast galleries and discovering the treasures within. While you're in Vatican City, pop into St. Peter's Basilica (free admission) and uncover all the details of this architectural marvel with the smart audio guide included in your package.
• Day 3: If you still have energy after the first two days—or if your schedule is tight—you can squeeze everything into two days. But if you have the luxury of time, we recommend using this third day to visit another must-see Roman landmark: the Pantheon (ticket not included). This architectural gem has inspired generations. With its breathtaking dome and elegant façade, this ancient temple is a testament to Roman ingenuity. Explore its stunning interior and admire the light streaming through the oculus above.
