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.

Family-friendly places like Colosseum and Pantheon will thrill your kids. And it doesn't end there: ponder the design of Trevi Fountain, steep yourself in history at Palatine Hill, don't miss a visit to Spanish Steps, and take in the architecture and atmosphere at St. Peter's Basilica.
