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, make a trip to Roman Forum, admire the local landmark of Trevi Fountain, and delve into the distant past at Colosseum.

If you are flying in from United States, the closest major airports are Leonardo da Vinci–Fiumicino Airport and Ciampino–G. B. Pastine International Airport. In May, plan for daily highs up to 75°F, and evening lows to 58°F. Wrap up your sightseeing on the 6th (Sun) early enough to travel back home.
