1. Colosseum
You cannot watch a Gladiatorial contest today but you can marvel at the magnificence of the most ancient sight of Rome. Amazingly it was inaugurated in AD 80, interestingly it could hold 50,000 -80,000 spectators. It’s good to visit anytime of the year. Also the crowd is huge but you could beat the line if you pre book your tickets. You can linger for a good 90 minutes to See the place where the animals were caged and get good views from the top. Not just see but listen closely to the walls, hear the history.
