Cavour Station & Steps

There is a set of steps on the east side of the intersection of Via Cavour & Via Giovanni Lanza, take those to a small laneway behind the church.

San Pietro in Vincoli - St Peter in Chains

• Michelangelo's statue of Moses (completed 1515)
• Reliquary containing the chains of St. Peter.

Domus Aurea - Nero's Golden Palace

After leaving the church head left towards the park rather than directly down to the Colosseum, the park is really nice and contains the ruins of Nero's Golden Palace the Domus Aurea.  If you go further left into the park you can go to the Baths of Trajan.

Colosseum

Going through the park you end up on a bit of a hill which I think gives you the best view of the Colosseum for long photos.

Walking Tour #2 - Roman Forum to Museums

I recommend the Lonely Planet Map, small gatefold map or the Rough Guide Waterproof map.
