Palatine Hill is the legendary birthplace of Rome and later the address of emperors, whose palace ruins and gardens still crown the hill above the Forum. It is included on the same combined Colosseum/Forum ticket and offers some of the best elevated views over both the Forum and the Circus Maximus. It is a steep uphill climb with limited signage, so a guide or audio guide helps make sense of the sprawling site.
