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.

Get some cultural insight at Colosseum and Pantheon. Vatican Museums and Galleria Borghese will appeal to museum buffs. Take a break from Rome with a short trip to Villa Adriana in Tivoli, about 36 minutes away. There's still lots to do: don't miss a visit to Piazza Navona, take in the architecture and atmosphere at Santa Maria in Trastevere, explore the ancient world of Forum of Augustus, and contemplate the long history of Roman Forum.
