A funny thing happened on the way to the Forum! What a place this is! It is huge and many pieces of stone are laying on the floor to get a close look at. There are areas which are still standing and overall it is a beautiful sight to see. You can sit in the shade and eat or drink and just take in what life must have been like here two thousand odd years ago!
Although it is a very open site, there are generally not that many people viewing as perhaps you might need an interest in archaeology to enjoy the site a bit more, although I don't think it is essential. A small amount of imagination will bring the place to life! You can almost imagine the people roaming around in their Toga's and chariots!
Well worth a visit and probably one of my favourite sights in Rome because it is so unspoilt.
