Caracalla Baths and Circus Maximus Guided Tour

Take a journey through time to the daily life of Romans during the Roman Empire.

Step into the grandeur of the Caracalla Thermal Complex, one of the most impressive and well-preserved ancient bathhouses in Rome. Its size is a great evidence of the level of perfection that construction techniques had reached in the 3rd century AD. The baths were not just a place to clean the body but also they were a hub for interaction and socialising, relaxation and rejuvenation, they played an important role in Roman society.

During this tour you’ll be amazed by the immense scale of the ruins, by the intricate geometric patterns of the mosaics, still visible in many areas, with towering walls and vast halls that once hosted thousands of visitors daily. You’ll also be surprised by the abilities of the ancient engineers, discovering the labor-intensive underfloor heating system, finding out the techniques used to maintain the desired temperature in every room.

The tour also includes a stop in what is considered to have been the largest structure for public games ever built by mankind: the Circus Maximus. Considered by Romans as one of the Roman Empire's best leisure places, the Circus Maximus, was specifically used for chariot races and it was able to house almost 300.000 spectators. Listening the words of your guide, you'll feel like an ancient Roman former games site and you can breathe the unique vibe of those precious events.
