13 days in Rome Itinerary

Aptly nicknamed the Eternal City, Rome is the birthplace of the Roman Empire, one of the world's greatest civilizations ever.

Step out of Rome with an excursion to Villa Adriana in Tivoli--about 36 minutes away. There's much more to do: delve into the distant past at Colosseum, admire the masterpieces at Galleria Borghese, contemplate in the serene atmosphere at Vatican Museums, and don't miss a visit to Spanish Steps.

Expect a daytime high around 15°C in January, and nighttime lows around 4°C. Finish your sightseeing early on the 5th (Tue) so you can travel back home.
