Rome in Two Hours: Colosseum to Termini on Foot

Rome in two hours: Colosseum to Termini on foot

A day in Rome, in three parts:

• Morning: Start at the Colosseum, walk over to the Arch of Titus, and look across the Roman Forum from an open public viewpoint while the exposed ancient stretch is still cool.
• Midday: Pass the Vittoriano and the Capitoline Hill, then slip into narrower streets to the Pantheon and the nearby church of Sant'Ignazio.
• Afternoon: Wait for a clean angle at the Trevi Fountain, climb to the wide square of the Quirinal Palace, and finish at Santa Maria Maggiore, a short walk from Termini station.

In this episode:

• The Arch of Titus is a marble arch at the edge of the Roman Forum, a short walk from the Colosseum.
• The white marble Vittoriano stands right beside the Capitoline Hill.
• The Pantheon's columned front faces its own square, and the church of Sant'Ignazio is a short walk away.
• The Trevi Fountain fills a small square, so a clean photo angle takes patience at busy times.
• Santa Maria Maggiore sits a short walk from Termini station, which suits an arrival or departure day.
