Palatine Hill - don't miss it
★★★★★
Even with the extreme heat, the place is beautiful, very well preserved. The grooming of the gardens is impecable too. The ruins are interesting. Shouldn't be missed.
I found it more interesting than the Foro Romano.

Large area
★★★★★
This is a very large area with many layers, all connected by stairs so be prepared. There are a couple of bathrooms and water refill stations on site.
