A tour of Rome is incomplete unless you set your foot at the doorway to the remnants of the Roman Forum which stretches from the Colosseum to the Capitol. The Roman Forum encompasses almost the whole of the ancient Rome. The Forum is actually an open air museum featuring ancient ruins, temples, columns, arches, and several other historic buildings. The Forum is actually a vast area and it takes at least a few hours to walk from the entrance of the forum on Via dei Fori Imperiali to the exit.
