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 Acqua e Sale - Stabilimento Balneare make great kid-friendly stops. Eschew the tourist crowds and head to Lido di Enea and Colle Capitolino. There's still lots to do: make a trip to Roman Forum, appreciate the extensive heritage of Piazza Navona, contemplate the long history of St. Peter's Basilica, and explore the ancient world of Palatine Hill.
