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.

You'll get in some beach time at Acqua e Sale - Stabilimento Balneare and Point Break. You'll explore the less-touristy side of things at Palatine Hill and Lido di Enea. And it doesn't end there: get to know the fascinating history of Piazza Navona, contemplate the long history of Colle Capitolino, examine the collection at St. Peter's Basilica, and make a trip to Roman Forum.

If you are flying in from Romania, the closest major airports are Leonardo da Vinci–Fiumicino Airport and Ciampino–G. B. Pastine International Airport. Expect a daytime high around 16°C in December, and nighttime lows around 4°C. Finish up your sightseeing early on the 3rd (Sat) so you can go by car back home.
