Rome is an open-air museum where ancient ruins sit beside baroque fountains and buzzing trattorias. Every piazza has a story and a plate of pasta worth staying for.
Day 1 · Arrive & settle in
Land, drop your bags, and ease into Rome with something low-key nearby. Reserve the Vatican first thing — and dress covered for the churches.
Day 2 · Colosseum and Roman Forum
Spend the morning on the highlight, then in the afternoon or evening: vatican museums and sistine chapel.
Day 3 · Trevi Fountain and Pantheon
Spend the morning on the highlight, then in the afternoon or evening: trastevere dinner crawl.
Day 4 · Borghese Gallery and gardens
Spend the morning on the highlight, then in the afternoon or evening: roman food tour (cacio e pepe, supplì).
Day 5 · Last morning & departure
Squeeze in one more before you go — colosseum and roman forum if you have time — then head to the airport.
