The day we visited the Roman Forum n Colosseum there was the Roman Marathon going on. We didn’t get any bus or cab to take us from the Capuchin Crypt to Colosseum. We walked all the way and found the short cut from Piazza Venezia was closed to general traffic. We were asked to take the other route when I suddenly spotted the Pillars from the Roman Forum and we entered through the Mamertine Prison. It was absolutely a blessing as we thought we will never be able to reach on time for our Colosseum booked time. We walked all the way straight to the Colosseum and enjoyed the Roman Forum to the fullest.
Wow that's awesome! So glad you got to enter through one of the best entrances AND you made it to the Colosseum on time! Thanks for sharing your experience!
Love your no nonsense, non Instagram-y, local resident knowledge-based videos. Years and years ago (decades, really), back when the Roman Forum was free, there was a great entrance right at the corner of where Via Monte Tarpeo turns into Via del Tempio di Giove. You walked down a few steps, through the turnstile and then you were on the ancient Clivus Capitolinus and walked down into the Roman Forum and thru the Arch of Septimus Severus. They closed it years ago when they started charging to enter, but I see no reason why they couldn't open that one again too...
Thank you for your kind comments! I do live here and visit these sites often, which is why I love sharing what I know - I hope it helps others have a great experience. I know the entrance you mean. It's still sort of there, or at least you can tell that it was once an entrance. I'd love for them to turn that one back into an entrance. Maybe they will one day. It seems to me that they are working hard to make sure this park is a great experience for everyone. Thanks a lot for watching and commenting!
I'm glad that they've restored some parts of the Colosseum. When I was here last, some of those columns were not there yet. They should keep on restoring. Don't stop.
We were in Rome last week. We entered the Forum at Trajan’s column. There were no queue at all!! 👍🏛️ I knew about this entrance because of you! 💙 Thank you! 🙏
GREAT video!!! We will definitely use your tips for quick early entry. I remember in ye olden days when the forum was free. We got there at about 7am and literally had it all to ourselves. But there is so much more excavated and included that I am super excited to get back. I think we will skip the colosseum and focus on the less touristy stuff so in 20 years we can again talk about all the stuff we saw in the new ye olden days.
Thank you so much! Wow that must have been amazing to be able to come back when it was free, get in at 7am and have the place to yourselves. But you are right, they have done so much since then, and there is a lot more to see now. I hope you have a wonderful visit on your next trip to Rome!
Just back from a week in Rome. Watched lots of these videos while planning the trip and they made such a difference! Big thank you to Elyssa for all her help. If you're planning a trip definitely take some time to watch her channel.
Thank you so much! I'm really grateful that even after your trip, you took the time to come and comment here. Thanks a lot for letting me (and others) know that you found my videos helpful with your trip planning!
I watched a lot of your videos before our trip just last week. It’s so very helpful! After we had our colosseum tour with a tour guide, she then guided us towards roman forum. We used the entrance closest to the colosseum. It was so hot in there, middle of the day, that we just have to leave. I was hoping to use the via foro romano exit that was close to our hotel but it was hard to find. 2 employees gave various instructions (some lost in translation) and there were no signs. So in the end we chose to exit the same way we came in. It would have been great if there were exit signs or maybe we just missed it. Brain was fried in the heat.
Thanks for letting me know you found my videos helpful! I agree, the heat can make you cut short a visit but it's better to do that than run around trying to find something and get heat exhaustion! I hope you had a good visit to the Roman Forum anyway.
enjoyed your "Where to enter the Roman Forum/Palatine Hill?" video presentation so much valuable information and beautifil scenes being shared love the fountain image @13:48 most lovely video! LIKE
I was in Roma one time in September ... OMG !!! That was a lesson I'll never forget ... stay out of Roma for the Summer ... I am Latino ... after years of study I speak fluent italiano ... coming in Ottobre ...
September can be hot but by the end of the month, the weather is lovely. October is one of the most beautiful months of the year, which is why it's the busiest month in Rome. Have a great visit!
@@Romewise Merda !!! I'm coming to Roma in Ottobre to avoid the crowds !!! Well I moved up my month starting on Oct. 22nd, so most of my month will be in November ... This time I'll be traveling with a Mexican Passport ... I speak fluent Italiano ... and Spanish .. so I am really anxious to get back to where my heart is !!!
@@superdivemaster Yes, I know, everyone is always SHOCKED to find out that October in Rome is packed. Everyone thinks they figured out the best time to come with the nicest weather and when the crowds must finally be gone and so everyone comes in October! Sorry to burst your bubble but at least now you will be prepared. Great that you speak Italian - it will make your visit that much more wonderful! have a great trip!
I would like to know if i want to walk to Mouth of Truth from the Palatine hill which exit is the closet one. Thank you for the information about the Attic ticket and this video for the entrance that suit to me.
If you open Google maps and type in "Mouth of Truth" and look for walking directions from "Palatine Hill", it will show you the exit on via di San Gregorio. Technically, the exit at Via Foro Romano is closer, but it's leaving the Roman Forum specifically. To leave the Palatine Hill, you need to take the exit at via di San Gregorio.
Thank you, that's very kind of you. Yes, the Roma Pass includes the Colosseum / Roman Forum / Palatine Hill as ONE of its sites, so if you use it to enter the Colosseum as one of your free sites, you can still visit the Roman Forum / Palatine Hill on that same ticket, meaning you don't need to use another space on the Roma Pass to get you in as a free site, because the Roman Forum / palatine Hill is included with your Colosseum ticket.
So glad I found your videos. Coming back to Rome but this time with my adult son. Is there a way to identify good entrance to the forum? I only see dots and they don’t tell me if it’s an entrance. Also, because I’m old, is there another way up to palatine other than all those stairs? Thank you in advance
Thanks for following! I made a map of all the entrances. It's linked in the description. The Palatine is a hill and you'll have to at least climb a slope to visit it. Maybe the easiest way is to enter on via di San Gregorio and then walk to the left and take the long way up, not via the steps but via a walking path that slowly slopes uphill. Hope that helps!
This is great! Would I be able to enter at Trajan's Forum and walk all the way through Roman Forum to Palatine Hill and exit over closer to the Colosseum for my tour? About how long would someone allocate for a visit to all three? 3 hours? Thank you for all your valuable information!
Yes, you can do it that way. How long you spend inside the Roman Forum / Palatine Hill / Imperial Forums depends on you. I can spend all day in there. But yes, I'd say to allocate about 3 hours. Glad you find my content helpful!
Excellent information! I think we will go for the entry at Trajans Forum when we go in September. Two questions: 1. I think you said there was no ticket office at that entry? Where does one get tickets? Purchase online? 2. Is it always a "three in one" ticket? We are only visiting the Forum and Palatine hill.
Thank you! If you don't want to visit the Colosseum, you can purchase a Roman Forum SUPER pass: th-cam.com/video/zfHjFPua7W0/w-d-xo.html There are a total of 3 ticket offices at the Roman Forum / Palatine Hill, and I shared them in this video. There is also a link in the description to a Google map that shows you where these ticket offices are. Trajan's Forum is only an entrance/exit but not a ticket office. And yes, I think it's best to purchase online anyway. You skip any lines onsite, and you can then enter wherever you want, without worrying about having to enter close to a ticket office. Hope that helps!
The basilica of Santa Francesca Romana in the Roman Forum, also known as Santa Maria Nova, has hours independent of the Roman Forum's hours. You can check here for their opening hours: www.turismoroma.it/it/luoghi/santa-francesca-romana-al-palatino-santa-maria-nova
Quite some time ago, yes, it was free to enter the Roman Forum. People tell me often that they remember visiting it for free, but as long as I can remember, it's been part of the Colosseum ticket. I think it's worth paying to enter and I'm glad they charge for it so they can continue to invest in upkeep and excavations. Hope you have a wonderful visit this Christmas!
How about a video about how the Jubilee year might impact tourism. I have a choice between the end of April or Second week in May and from the official website I learn nothing
We just returned from Rome and had used the advice on Rome Wise's videos on how to avoid the main entrance we used the third entrance she mentions (at Via Cavour), and literally walked right in. The stop for security was all of two minutes...while thousands of people were at the main entrance! Unfortunately this via was not yet available, and with the construction barriers, ended up at the false entrance (that leading to the church) she mentions in this video. We used other suggestions, such as the information on the museum of inscriptions at the Baths of Diocletian mentioned in another Rome Wise video. The information in the Rome Wise videos has proven invaluable...watch them all and take notes!!!
Thank you so much for your kind comments! I'm delighted that you found my videos helpful with your trip planning and that you visited the Baths of Diocletian on my recommendation. Thank you so much for sharing your experience and for recommending me!
Sorry but I don't know the answer. You may want to join our free Romewise Facebook group. The Parco Colosseo (official site for the Colosseum) are members, and they often answer questions of our members.
Can you buy colosseum arena tickets or attic tickets in person at one of those tickets booth? Is the tickets you buy in person also valid for 24 hours?
In theory, there are always some same-day tickets available. Even the Parco Colosseo officially says that. The reality is that every time I've asked in person (I visit often), I am told there are no tickets for the arena or attico for that day. Typically, you can fairly easily get same-day tickets for standard entry only. And even those run out. Given the demand, the only way to be sure to get these high-request tickets is to buy them in advance. All Colosseum tickets work like this - you MUST book a date and time for the Colosseum. Then, you must go in at THAT time (you have about 10-15 minutes' leeway on either side of that time but no more). Then, you have 24 hours on either side of THAT ticket to visit the Roman Forum / Palatine Hill as a single-entry (you can't visit either site more than once per ticket.)
Do you recommend any particular entrance for folks who aren't necessarily mobility-limited (ie, wheelchair), but who might try to avoid big changes in terrain/altitude due to respiratory issues (ie, asthma)?
I would recommend the entrance at Trajan's Forum. Except for climbing down some steps at the beginning just to get in (I show the steps in the video), it's all flat from there. Also, at the new entrance I showed at via Foro Romano, once you go down the slightly inclined ramp, it's also completely flat after that. Those are my two best suggestions for the situation you describe.
I mention my custom map several times in the video. Please see 01:12 and also the link in the description. You'll find the link to my map in the description if you expand it.

The Arch of Constantine is so underrated. People don't realize how Constantine changed the path of history for Europe and Christianity.
I'm glad that they've restored some parts of the Colosseum. When I was here last, some of those columns were not there yet. They should keep on restoring. Don't stop.

You cannot enter the Forum of Augustus. You can only view this site from street level.
