Si podéis ir hacedlo, es increíble ver la cantidad de cosas que hay, la de historia que hay detrás y lo grande que es. Nosotros teníamos pack de coliseo y foro romano y nos sorprendió ver qué nos pasamos más tiempo del que habíamos planeado para verlo todo, así que, si tenéis pensado venir poneros un margen de horas para poder visitarlo tranquilamente antes de ir a otro lugar. Dentro del foro habían monumentos a los que se podían entrar (enseñando las entradas), subir... Hay cosas que desde la calle se ven, pero nada que ver con estar dentro y verlo.

La verdad que es muy impresionante para visitar, pero es un laberinto y está mal señalizado, la poca información que se encuentra en cada monumento está en italiano e inglés, utilizar el traductor suma horas al ya extenso recorrido, son como poco 5 horas para ver mas o menos todo, pero hay pocos lugares para descansar, a eso sumado que los monumentos son unos par de bloques sobre una gran extensión verde...para quien no posee una gran imaginación y conocimientos sobre historia es prácticamente imposible de entender y disfrutar, mínimo podrían poner un dibujo de como era antes. Poca información en Google maps y los mapas del parque rayados, desgastados y como cereza del postre no se entienden. Resumen un lugar espectacular que podría ser mejor organizado para el turista.

Impresionante e impactante sitio arqueológico. Si bien no se ven muchos de los antiguos edificios en pie, sí se puede respirar y vivir la histori que marcó este lugar. Desde pórticos medievales hasta basílicas y templos parcialmente en pie, hasta detalles de solados, pisos, mosaicos y otros rasgos originales, uno viaja siglos, milenios atrás. Deslumbrabte!
