还有比 2025 年更适合游览罗马的吗？自 1300 年以来，每 25 年都会举行一次大庆。这一天主教活动贯穿全年，具有恢复与上帝、他人和造物之间正确关系的历史意义。教皇方济各宣布的 2025 年大庆的主题是 “希望的朝圣者”，呼吁全球人道主义团结一致，共同对抗气候危机、战争和不平等。 在这篇关于 “2025 千禧年 ”的文章中，The Touring Pandas 将与您分享计划今年访问罗马的您需要了解的一切。 筹备千禧年 意识到此次活动的规模，罗马市一直在准备为游客提供一个更加友好的罗马，更好地组织游客前往主要景点，以确保更顺畅、更高效的游览，修复古迹，升级公共交通，改善城市面貌： 许愿泉现在有游客限制，以确保更好的体验。由于许愿池位于公共广场，因此参观许愿池仍将免费，但若想靠近许愿池，则必须轮班排队。这样可以避免纪念碑附近人满为患，并确保在向喷泉投掷硬币时有更好的体验。 专业建议：如果您抛掷两个硬币，您就会爱上一个迷人的意大利人！如果您是情侣旅行，就要小心了！ 好消息 作为 2025 年大庆筹备工作的一部分： 梵蒂冈圣彼得大教堂的《圣母像》（米开朗基罗的《圣母像》）已经修复。博尔戈走廊（Passetto di Borgo）也已重新开放，这是一条连接梵蒂冈和罗马的秘密围墙通道，曾被教皇用来躲避危险。现在，游客可以穿过这条历史悠久的通道，以独特的视角欣赏美景。 这座城市不仅注重修复古迹，还致力于改善交通便利性和可持续性。其中一项重要举措就是创建步行空间。新建的皮亚广场是罗马最大的步行区，连接圣天使城堡和梵蒂冈。该广场旨在方便人们前往梵蒂冈和附近的古迹，并将成为 2025 年大庆重要活动的舞台。它还有助于城市规划，减少交通拥堵，改善该地区的空气质量。 经典古迹和景点 绝对不会错 无论您是艺术爱好者还是好奇的旅行者，参观完梵蒂冈博物馆后，您的生活都将发生改变。梵蒂冈收藏着世界上最重要的艺术珍品，包括米开朗基罗的西斯廷教堂。拉斐尔、卡拉瓦乔、达芬奇等艺术家的杰作构成了世界上最大、最完整的艺术收藏之一。拥有 2000 多年历史的《拉奥孔和他的儿子们》和尼罗河大理石雕塑《尼罗河的寓言》等无价之宝也是其中的佼佼者。 来源：维基共享资源 维基共享资源 留心观察！每件艺术品都在讲述一个故事，等待着您去发掘。这里有太多值得探索的地方，我们建议您仔细规划参观路线，充分利用时间，不要错过最吸引人的部分。 罗马斗兽场永远是这座城市的标志性建筑。它已有近 2000 年的历史，完美地象征着人类的雄心和智慧。它是罗马皇帝在公元 1 世纪送给人民的礼物，角斗士和野生动物在这里展开了生死搏斗。在我们的 斗兽场竞技场地板、罗马广场和帕拉丁山之旅, 您将近距离体验古罗马生活的中心–斗兽场和角斗士竞技场，以及皇帝曾经居住过的帕拉丁山。您准备好踏上角斗士的战场了吗？ 禧年的主要宗教活动之一是打开罗马四大大教堂的四扇传统 “圣门”： 圣彼得大教堂、圣约翰拉特兰大教堂、圣玛丽亚马焦雷大教堂和墙外圣保罗大教堂。这些门象征着获得宽恕和上帝的恩典。每隔 25 年，教皇都会开启这些圣门，与以往的庆祝活动不同，教皇将在罗马的雷比比亚监狱开启第五扇圣门。 不要忘了，罗马这座永恒之城还有更多精彩。这个绰号绝非偶然：从雄伟的万神殿、“众神之殿 ”到标志性的广场和喷泉、乘船游览台伯河、参观博尔盖塞别墅、品尝精致美食等等！罗马是一座总能给人带来惊喜的城市，就连它自己的居民也不例外，2025 千禧年城市开发期间发现的 2…

游览罗马斗兽场：获得美好体验的提示和优惠 罗马斗兽场（Colosseum）是我们从孩提时代起就列入清单的古迹之一。这座文明的里程碑已经屹立了两千年，先是给古罗马人留下了深刻的印象，现在又给全世界的游客留下了深刻的印象。我们都听说过角斗士、狮子、老虎、大象和其他野兽在世界上最著名的圆形剧场竞技场上搏斗的故事。 因此，如果您终于要把这个项目从您的清单中划掉了，我们准备了一篇文章，为您提供一些小贴士，确保您有一个美好的体验。在本周的文章中，The Touring Pandas 将与您分享参观罗马斗兽场的一些建议。请继续阅读，了解您在计划行程前需要了解的所有信息！ 1. 参观斗兽场……以及更多！ 虽然罗马斗兽场本身就是游览罗马的充分理由，但它只是罗马辉煌历史的一小部分。罗马是古代世界最大的城市，在其最辉煌的时期，罗马的居民达到了令人印象深刻的一百万人，而当时的城市一般只有几千人。 虽然大部分古罗马遗迹已经消失，但仍有相当数量的古罗马遗迹保留到了我们这个时代，我们可以在斗兽场附近参观这些遗迹。通常，罗马的标志性建筑斗兽场与另外两个区域一起，我们可以在一个上午或下午的组合计划中游览：罗马广场和帕拉丁山。让我们对这三个地方做一个概述：   斗兽场 将近两千年前，罗马市中心仅用了 9 年时间就建成了这样一座高达 52 米的巨型建筑。仅地基的加固就需要 2500 多人的努力，还必须修建一条特殊的道路，将石灰岩块从提沃利运来。这让我们了解到罗马人杰出的工程技术。 斗兽场是一个圆形剧场，可容纳约 7 万人，类似于欧洲的许多现代足球场。在斗兽场内，罗马人的娱乐活动主要是野兽和角斗士的战斗。它无疑是古罗马王冠上的一颗明珠，是古罗马遗留下来的宝贵财富，至今仍给每一位到访者留下深刻印象。 罗马广场 如果说斗兽场是为了娱乐，那么罗马广场则是经济、制度和宗教活动的发展之地。论坛位于罗马七座山丘环绕的山谷中，这里最早的建筑是供奉罗马人崇拜的多神的神庙。 随着时间的推移，广场成为元老、执政官、皇帝和其他人物决定罗马帝国近 5000 万人民命运的地方。如今，罗马广场的景色已成为这座永恒之城历史和辉煌的见证，令人叹为观止。 帕拉丁山 最后，帕拉丁山与这座城市的根源有关，因为罗马就是在这里由罗穆卢斯于公元前 750 年左右建立的。在这座山附近，一只母狼发现了他和他的兄弟雷莫，并喂养他们，直到他们成为长大成人的战士，准备建立一座征服整个地中海的城市。 随着时间的推移，帕拉丁山成为罗马皇帝们选择定居的地方。他们在这座山上修建了雄伟的宫殿，从而获得了半神的地位，统治着这座城市。现在仍然可以看到这些宫殿的遗迹，从这里可以俯瞰广场和斗兽场的壮丽景色。 如何将三个区域的游览结合起来 游览斗兽场、罗马广场和帕拉丁山需要时间和精力，因为它们覆盖了城市非常广阔的区域。我们的活动 斗兽场之旅、罗马广场和帕拉丁山 它提供了一种游览这三个区域的便捷方式，既可在导游的带领下游览圆形剧场，也可独立游览论坛和帕拉丁宫。关于这次游览的更多详情，请参阅本帖后面的内容。 如果您想独自游览这三个区域，我们建议您留出一整天的时间。我们建议您从清晨开始游览帕拉丁山（Palatine Hill）和古罗马广场（Forum），游览时间约为 4 小时。午休后，下午参观斗兽场是完成一天行程的好方法，根据您选择的门票类型（见下一节），斗兽场还需要 1.5 到 2 个小时。 2. 建筑内部：参观斗兽场的不同选择 普通票： 斗兽场 1 层和 2 层 参观斗兽场的基本门票可以让您对斗兽场的所有景点有一个大致的了解。它允许进入建筑的第一层和第二层。在二层，您可以看到竞技场和地下区域的全景，但不能踩在上面。   竞技场门票…
