4 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.

Museum-lovers will get to explore Vatican Museums and Galleria Borghese. Palatine Hill and Pantheon are good opportunities to explore the local culture. Go for a jaunt from Rome to Tivoli to see Villa d'Este about 48 minutes away. There's still lots to do: steep yourself in history at St. Peter's Basilica, pause for some serene contemplation at Church of St. Louis of the French, make a trip to Roman Forum, and delve into the distant past at Colosseum.
