Good morning it's Elyssa from Romewise
your go-to guide to Rome. I'm all decked
out for summer. Definitely summertime heading
over to the Palatine hill
gonna take you with me. We're going
to visit a new site on the Palatine Hill
it's called the Domus Transitoria
which is Nero's Palace that he had
before he built the humongous Domus
Aurea which is a whole other story.
Got a link to that below. So I'm gonna
take you with me now into the
Palatine Hill. You're gonna get the super
ticket and we're gonna visit the Domus
Transitoria among other things. So, ready?
Here we go!
All right you guys it is summer. It's
8:30 in the morning.
The sun's already sky high. I'm going to
visit the Palatine Hill so look how I'm
dressed. I've got a hat on. This hat has
sunscreen or at least it's sunblock.
Sunglasses of course. I have sunscreen on my body.
I have sunscreen in my bag, extra
sunscreen and bug spray in my bag just
because you never know. I'm also wearing
light cotton dress I do not like to wear
any synthetic fibers in this weather.
Also slippers, don't wear flip-flops not a good idea
Don't wear shoes you have to break in. So
you got to be comfortable, you got to
keep cool and you got to keep hydrated.
So water bottles in my bag, their water
fountain is inside, stay hydrated stay
cool and stay out of the Sun if you can.
So we're here at the Palatine Hill it is
not yet 8:30 and like a rock concert
people are lining up to be the first
ones in. This is because of the new rules
where you have to book a date and time
for the Colosseum and it's turning out that a lot of
people are finding out, they've left it too late. They couldn't buy a ticket
sold out and my advice has been to come
on over here early when they first open
and stand in line and hope for the best
so I think this could be part of that.
I'm hoping to get tickets to the Colosseum today.
Could be that they just
wanted early start but you got to get an
early start these days in Rome. It's hot
it's summer, it's crowded so early is the
way to go. All right we have a 10:40
visit to the Domus Transitoria so we're gonna see some
other things here on the Palatine Hill
These are the Arcate severiane arches put here by
the Emperor septimius severus. These are
incredible structures, the architecture is just
literally awesome in the real sense of the word.
One of the recently open parts of the Palatine Hill is this
section here called the paths on the green.
In the green on the slopes of the Palatine
and it basically shows what the gardens
would have looked like back in ancient
Rome right now the flowers are exploding
so it should be really beautiful it's a
pretty long path and it's you've got to
go all the way to the end and come back
the same way so make sure you give
yourself time to do that we're just
gonna go in part way today but it's
really special and worth a look you get
to see these structures in a different
way and also like I said the flowers as
they were in ancient Rome
you know when you're walking up here on
the Palatine Hill and you see this
marble this is the original marble from
these palaces from ancient Roman
emperors look at this it's absolutely
astounding that you can see the colors
so vividly I just feel like it's such a
special thing to be able to see this and
walk on some of it all right with the
super ticket we're gonna go into the
Museo Palatino can't get in without it
so already it's worth the price.
alright so the Domus Transitoria is here
this is an amazing site that you can
visit with the super ticket on the
Palatine Hill so how does this work the
super ticket is 16 euros it's good for
one day and it's good for all these
seven unique places to visit in Rome and
the Domus identity is actually the 8th
site really because the other 7 sites
are already on your ticket this site has
to be booked in advance you just have to
go onto the website of cup culture it's
a free booking but you got a book if you
just show up like today are because it
was booked there were eight spots and it
was fully booked so you got to make sure
you booked this in advance it's really
easy you just go to booked you don't
have to pay anything so there's no
problem with your credit card it just
arrives in your email as a booking and
then you show up here on the Palatine
Hill get your super ticket at the box
office and then show up in time for your
tour the tour lasts about 40 minutes so
as I've told you if you want to visit
all the sites on the super ticket you're
gonna have to take a whole day because
some of these sites take 40 minutes each
one it's really worthwhile this is an
incredible way to see ancient Rome and
how Nero lived the kind of buildings
that he made there's a virtual reality
part where you get to be transported
back it's really fantastic so I highly
recommend this site need almost vamsi
todya on the Palatine Hill
it was cold the doors transitoria
because it enabled Nero to move directly
between the palace and the guards of
mightiness without ever leaving his
property
okay we have just been to the domus
transitoria and now because we have this
super ticket
we used it also to see the museum which
is on this ticket and it's right next to
the domus transitoria we're gonna visit
the owl ah I see akka and the lodge
amate which are literally next door easy
to visit so we might as well let's go I
