THE ANCIENT RACETRACK
Circus Maximus Rome
“Circus Maximus” – what a name, how important, what potency… Rightly so! Because the Circus Maximus was the world’s largest stadium for chariot races at all. 600 meters long, 140 meters wide, space for 250,000 people!
My Rating:
The positives:
A hidden gem. The “Circo Maximo Experience” is not overcrowded by crowds. Through the virtual reality glasses, the past is brought to life and history is made tangible. There are 5 stars for that!
The negatives:
Without the paid section, Circus Massimus is a bit disappointing. The largest stadium in world history was once here - what can still be seen today: a meadow. In case of heavy rain, the Circo Maximo Experience is not possible.
Top Tip:
Take a tour with VR glasses and secure your ticket online. In midsummer, do not visit the Circus Maximus in the afternoon (up to 40 degrees) - there is hardly any shade!
