Palatine Hill
★★★★★
We had a ticket which was for RF, PH and C - we started at PH as we read it was better to do that first and less crowded (at the top of the 3 places). It was really interesting and easy to walk 5 mins up from C to the entrance, not so busy. Lots other see and the views over RF and C and the city were amazing. Take decent footwear, a water bottle, hat and easy clothing.

Good experience
★★★☆☆
See the Rome from the top, but too much area to cover on foot uphill and down hills
