Tips from local experts:
- Pause at the main Palatine viewpoint for a quiet photo moment — great for a couple’s shot against the Colosseum backdrop.
- Expect some uneven steps and short stair sections; wear comfortable shoes suited for cobblestones.
- Keep radios/headsets on for clear commentary while moving between viewpoints.
