Q: What is Palatine Hill?

The most famous of Rome’s seven hills, Palatine Hill is the alleged birthplace of Rome. According to legend, the founders of Rome (Remus and Romulus) were raised there by a wolf. It’s one of Rome’s most important archaeological sites and home to the Palatine Museum (Museo del Palatino) and millennia-old open-air ruins.

Q: Where is Palatine Hill?

Palatine Hill is in the heart of Rome, hugged by the Roman Forum and Colosseum on the north side and Circus Maximus (Circo Massimo) on the south. Within walking distance of Rome’s most historic attractions, Palatine Hill is also easy to reach with public transportation—the Colosseo metro and bus station are a short walk away.

Q: Are guided tours available at Palatine Hill?

Yes, Palatine Hill is a fixture of tours focused on ancient Roman history, and an archaeologist guide can help you make sense of its many ruins. See it on a 3-in-1 walking tour with the Colosseum and Roman Forum or work it into a full-day Rome sightseeing tour by golf cart.

Q: How much time do you need to visit Palatine Hill?

Tours of Palatine Hill, the Colosseum, and the Roman Forum typically last three hours, though you could spend even longer exploring the extensive archaeological area. Set aside at least an hour to walk through the hill’s ruins—or longer if you’d like to enter attractions such as the House of Livia (Casa di Livia) and Domus Aurea.
