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, sightseeing, museums, nightlife, and shopping. Your plan includes some of its best attractions: pause for some serene contemplation at Basilica di San Pietro, don't miss a visit to Spanish Steps, explore the ancient world of Palatine Hill, and explore the world behind art at Vatican Museums.

If you are flying in from Australia, the closest major airports are Leonardo da Vinci–Fiumicino Airport and Ciampino–G. B. Pastine International Airport. Expect a daytime high around 26°C in October, and nighttime lows around 15°C. Finish your sightseeing early on the 11th (Wed) to allow enough time to travel back home.
