Evening tours every weekend until end of September.
Rome will open the Imperial Fora to visitors by night this summer, every Friday, Saturday and Sunday from 20 June until 28 September.
Visitors can discover the wonders of the ancient ruins under the stars, with visits from 19.30 until last entry at 22.00, in an initiative that combines history, archaeology and beauty.
The entrance is from Piazza della Madonna di Loreto, via the Imperial Fora ticket office located near Trajan’s Column.
A staircase leads down to the level of the archaeological area, while a lift is available for people with mobility difficulties.
The one-hour guided tours are available in Italian and English for groups of up to 25 people, with visits every half an hour.
The walking tour begins Trajan’s Forum before passing through tunnel beneath Via dei Fori Imperiali to reach Caesar’s Forum with the remains of the Temple of Venus.
The tour then continues to the Curia, seat of the senate, and from there to the exit from Via Bonella onto Via dei Fori Imperiali, near Largo Corrado Ricci.
