AS Be prepared though, the Colosseums is easily accessible to the public and does draw very large crowds.

The Forum: the Forum was the centre of the ancient city and hosts a variety of significant attractions. The Temples of Jupiter, Titus and Vesta and Arch of Severus to name a few. The Forum is located right beside the Colosseum and its worthwhile doing the two together.

Sistine Chapel: there are many people that say they get a indefinable "sense" when viewing Michelangelo's "Last Judgement" on the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel. The amount of detailed iconography that is part of The Vatican museum circuit is breath-taking and a must see for any visit to Rome.

St. Peters Square: Looking around St. Peters Square you may be surprised by the enormity of it. There are two huge colonnades that line either side with detailed statues of Saints and former Popes.
