3 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.

Rome is known for historic sites, museums, nightlife, shopping, and classes. Your plan includes some of its best attractions: contemplate the long history of St. Peter's Basilica, appreciate the extensive heritage of Piazza Navona, explore the ancient world of Palatine Hill, and admire the striking features of Pantheon.
