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 historical perspective at Palatine Hill and Colosseum. For shopping fun, head to Via Condotti or Porta Portese. There's much more to do: admire the masterpieces at Vatican Museums, ponder the design of Trevi Fountain, stop by Murano Max, and get to know the fascinating history of Piazza Navona.

In December, daytime highs in Rome are 16°C, while nighttime lows are 4°C. Cap off your sightseeing on the 9th (Sun) early enough to travel back home.
