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.

Appreciate the collections at Borghese Gallery and Sistine Chapel. Get some historical perspective at Palatine Hill and Vatican Museums. Change things up with a short trip to Villa Adriana in Tivoli (about 38 minutes away). Next up on the itinerary: take in the architecture and atmosphere at Basilica di San Pietro, explore the world behind art at Capitoline Museums, make a trip to Piazza Navona, and delve into the distant past at Colosseum.
