Rome works for history buffs, art lovers, foodies, pilgrims and spiritual travellers, photographers and first-timers. A city where every street corner tells a story spanning millennia — 2,000 years of empire, Vatican treasures and a contemporary city that thrives among the ruins.
Three days gives you time to absorb the grandeur of Imperial Rome, marvel at Vatican treasures, and discover the vibrant contemporary city among the ruins — balancing iconic ancient sites with authentic Roman experiences, from the Colosseum to neighbourhood trattorias where locals dine.
Begin at the Colosseum, Rome's most iconic monument — book a skip-the-line tour. Continue to the Roman Forum and climb Palatine Hill, where Rome was founded. Visit the Capitoline Museums, then cross the Tiber to Trastevere for dinner — carbonara or cacio e pepe, both Roman classics.
Early access to the Vatican Museums and Sistine Chapel is essential — book a first-entry tour. Enter St. Peter's Basilica for Michelangelo's Pietà and the dome. Walk to Castel Sant'Angelo, then stroll baroque Rome to Piazza Navona and the Pantheon, a 2,000-year-old temple with the world's largest unreinforced concrete dome.
Visit the Trevi Fountain early to beat the crowds and toss a coin. Walk to the Spanish Steps and Via Condotti. Spend the afternoon at the Borghese Gallery — Bernini sculptures and Caravaggio paintings, timed entry required. End at Campo de' Fiori's evening market with aperitivo, Italian happy hour.
Testaccio Market — where locals do their daily shopping, real Roman cooking. Aventine Hill & Orange Garden — the Knights of Malta keyhole view of St. Peter's dome, free and quiet. Pyramid of Cestius — a genuine 2,000-year-old Egyptian-style pyramid next to the Protestant Cemetery. MAXXI Museum — Zaha Hadid's contemporary art museum, far from the crowds. Palazzo Farnese — Renaissance frescoes rivalling the Sistine Chapel, free guided tours on select days. Piscina delle Rose — an outdoor Olympic pool in the modernist EUR district.
