You can view the Roman Forum from a bunch of different angles, so just getting near the area is key.

One of the most awe-inspiring parts of Rome/the Vatican. Easy to miss since you see everyone going to the Vatican museum, and if you’re facing the Vatican it’s tucked in to the right, usually not with a huge line

Much bigger in person

Great open area to view this historical artifact.

Using this location to mark off the Spanish Steps. A must-see in Rome! Fun fact, they don’t allow sitting on the steps, and will yell at you to stand up.

Huge, beautiful fountain in the heart of Rome.

The famous colosseum! Getting a tour guide isn’t necessary here, there’s ton of descriptions for any of the artifacts.

Baths built during the time of Marcus Aurelius. It’s a bunch of ruins that still look very impressive, but that’s why it’s worth it to buy the guided tour. It’s a digital tour that activates at different locations around the bath house to provide historical context. There’s also a well to get water!
