Coliseum
For a long time, he has become a symbol not only Rome, but also from Italy. Its sizes amazing imagination, and you need to spend at least 1 hour at its inspection. Paid entrance. Flavia Amphitheater (so it is called in the original) was built only 8 years, which is very little for the construction of such a scale, and accompanied up to 50 thousand spectators. Here, gladiator fights and other spectacles were held - sometimes the arena even filled with water and arranged sea battles.
Capitolian Hill

Square and St. Peter's Cathedral
Where else can you be in the state, which is inside another state? Rome gives such an opportunity, so the Vatican is obligatory. Entrance inside the cathedral is paid, the queues are huge, and allowed there only with covered shoulders and knees. Starting from the IV century, the cathedral was built for a long time and decorated, and in this process the most famous Italian architects, sculptors and artists participated. Special attention deserves a panoramic field.
Piazza Venezia and the monument to Victor Emmanuel II
The area looks great, and it complements the monument, standing on a hill, and as it were towering over the city. To the right of the monument, you can relax in the shade of old trees in a small park. Many tourists organize picnics here.
Pantheon and the Temple of all the gods
For the first time the simple people of the city could pray to the gods on a par with the privileged priests. The dome of the temple has a light window through which sunlight penetrates, creating interesting effects inside. The temple is worth a visit if only because the entrance there is free, and here are buried many famous Italians who left their mark on the culture and history.
Mausoleum of Hadrian or the Castel Sant'Angelo
It can be reached on foot from St. Peter's Square. Entrance fee, but you should still check - is very well preserved, in spite of two thousand years of history. Upstairs there is a viewing platform, which offers a view of the entire city. It is from this platform launch fireworks on national holidays.
Roman forum
The long period of time served as forum shopping, religious and judicial center of the whole of Rome. In fact, now it is the remnants of former greatness.

Yes, so cleverly done that buying a ticket in 2 places, you save time, not to stand in huge queues at the Colosseum, and can visit the forum. Spend here more than an hour will be difficult not only because of the intense heat and lack of shelter from the sun, but because of boredom.
