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.

Attractions like Point Break and Colle Capitolino make great kid-friendly stops. Visiting Acqua e Sale - Stabilimento Balneare and Lido di Enea will get you outdoors. There's lots more to do: steep yourself in history at Roman Forum, make a trip to St. Peter's Basilica, explore the ancient world of Palatine Hill, and appreciate the extensive heritage of Piazza Navona.
