Italy Rome Roman Forum and Palatine Hill Entry Tickets Overview
Stretching between the Capitoline and Palatine Hills in the heart of Rome, the Roman Forum was for over a thousand years the political, religious, and commercial centre of the most powerful empire the world has ever known. Senate debates, triumphal processions, public trials, and religious ceremonies all took place within this remarkable valley, now preserved as the most significant archaeological site in the Roman world.
Adjacent to the Forum and included in the same ticket, Palatine Hill was the most exclusive residential address in ancient Rome, home to emperors and aristocrats whose palaces once covered the entire hill. Today the ruins of the Palace of Augustus, the House of Livia, and the Domus Tiberiana offer extraordinary glimpses into the private world of Rome's ruling class, while the hilltop terraces offer sweeping panoramic views across the Forum below and the Circus Maximus beyond.
A standard Roman Forum and Palatine Hill ticket is included with all Colosseum tickets and is valid for two days. Book your skip the line Roman Forum Rome tickets now and explore the site where the history of the Western world was made.

FAQs
Palatine Hill is the mythological birthplace of Rome, the hill where Romulus and Remus were raised according to Roman legend. It became the most prestigious residential address in ancient Rome, home to the emperors from Augustus onwards. The ruins of the Palace of Augustus and the House of Livia are among the finest surviving examples of ancient Roman residential architecture.
The Roman Forum and Palatine Hill present significant accessibility challenges due to ancient uneven paving stones, steep inclines on Palatine Hill, and unpaved paths throughout the site. Some paved routes are available but a full visit to all areas requires a reasonable level of mobility and fitness.
The Roman Forum and Palatine Hill follow the same seasonal schedule as the Colosseum. They are open from 09:00 daily with closing times ranging from 19:15 in summer to 16:30 in winter. Last entry is one hour before closing. Both sites are closed on 25 December and 1 January.
The standard ticket covers the main ruins of the Roman Forum, Palatine Hill, and the Colosseum. The SUPER ticket or Forum Pass SUPER adds access to special sites including the House of Augustus, the House of Livia, the Palatine Museum, and other areas not open on the standard ticket. SUPER access times are limited and these sites have their own opening hours within the main park.
Allow at least 2 to 3 hours to explore the Roman Forum and Palatine Hill thoroughly. The Forum alone merits 1.5 hours to cover the key ruins. Palatine Hill adds a further hour including the climb to the hilltop terraces and the views across the site. An audio guide or guided tour significantly enhances the experience.
The key highlights of the Roman Forum include the Arch of Titus commemorating the conquest of Jerusalem, the Temple of Vesta where the sacred flame of Rome was kept burning, the Curia Julia Senate house, the Temple of Saturn, the Basilica of Maxentius, and the Rostra speakers platform from which Roman orators addressed the crowds.
The Roman Forum is located along Via dei Fori Imperiali in central Rome. The most convenient way to get there is by Metro Line B to Colosseo station. The Forum has two main entrances, one on Via Sacra near the Arch of Titus and another on Via dei Fori Imperiali closer to Piazza Venezia.
Yes. A standard Colosseum ticket includes one timed entry to the Colosseum and full access to the Roman Forum and Palatine Hill. The ticket is valid for two days meaning you can visit the Colosseum on one day and return to the Forum and Palatine Hill the next day if you wish.
