Ancient sites near Rome

Central Rome holds more Roman ruins than anywhere else: the Colosseum, the Roman Forum and Palatine, Trajan's Market, the Circus Maximus and the Baths of Caracalla lie within walking distance of each other, with the Appian Way a short bus ride south-east. Ostia Antica is 25 minutes away on the Roma-Lido train, Hadrian's Villa at Tivoli an hour by COTRAL bus, and the Etruscan tombs of Cerveteri and Tarquinia easiest by car. Book the Colosseum ahead; Ostia and Hadrian's Villa are free on the first Sunday.
