The Palatine is one of the seven hills of Rome, located between the Velabro and the Roman Forum, and is one of the oldest parts of the city.
The site is now a large open-air museum and can be visited during the day.
The entrance is in Via di San Gregorio (admission fee), or you can climb the Palatine Hill by entering the Roman Forum (entrance fee) and then going up the Clivio Palatino, to the right of the Arch of Titus.
Between legend and reality, surely today the Palatine hill is one of the most evocative places of the city.
Home to the homes of the ruling class of ancient Rome, and, subsequently, of the gardens of the Farnese family, today the Palatine is a real sky museum open.
The vestiges of the past are, in fact, immersed in the greenery of a rich vegetation that extends along the slopes of the hill, from which one can enjoy wide views of the entire archaeological area below.
The ticket office closes an hour before.
