From here you can start a fascinating walk along Via dei Fori Imperiali, right in front of the hotel, to see the history of the ancient city: Julius Caesar, Constantine, the Colosseum and Trajan's Column. In a monumental succession it is possible to see: the Forum of Caesar, the first after the Republican era; then Forum of Trajan, Forum of Augustus (right in front of Hotel Forum) and Forum Transitorium (also called the Forum of Nerva). Near the Grillo hill are the Markets of Trajan, with their unique semicircular structure. To the right of the Altare della Patria rises Trajan's column, a masterpiece of Roman sculpture.

Just beyond on the right are the massive ruins of the Basilica di Massenzio or di Costantino where justice was once administered and business negotiated.
