    V horkém počasí doporučuji dostatek tekutin i nějaké jídlo s sebou. V areálu jsme našli jeden automat s nápoji a keksy a dvě fontány s pitnou vodou a rozhodně pokrývku hlavy. V areálu Fórum Romanum není v slunečném počasí skoro žádný stín.

    Admission went quickly and smoothly. Unfortunately, the signage for the Headout staff isn't very clear, so they're not easy to find. The tour of the Pantheon was very impressive.
