The Vatican City is a unique and beautiful location to begin your Italian trip. Explore the famous St. Peter's Basilica, the Vatican Museum, and the awe-inspiring Sistine Chapel.
Get a strong dose of ancient Roman history by exploring the Colosseum and the Roman Forum, both of which are some of the most popular places to visit in Rome.
The ancient and iconic Piazza Navona is the ideal spot for a morning stroll, followed by a visit to the Pantheon, where you can witness one of the city's most impressive architectural marvels.
Nestled on the west bank of the Tiber River, Trastevere boasts an authentic, old-world feel and is home to numerous cafes, shops, and restaurants. Later in the day, walk around the gardens of Villa Borghese and absorb some Italian art at Galleria Borghese.
Away from the bustle of the city, explore the Roman countryside on a bike ride by taking Via Appia Antica (Appian Way). Take an underground tour of the Catacombs and experience a unique way to see ancient Christian tombs.
Start the day with a stop at the famous Trevi Fountain. Take a picture and throw a coin. Then move on to the Spanish Steps before heading back to the airport or train station to conclude the trip.
If you have extra days, book a day trip to Naples or Pompeii to get away from the crowded Rome. Alternatively, for a shorter stay, pick two or three must-visit spots as this itinerary may seem rushed for some. Rome is hot and crowded throughout the summer, but between November and March, rain may occur much more frequently. Be sure to carry a water bottle, umbrella, and moisturiser, especially during the hot summers.
