5 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.

Rome is known for historic sites, nightlife, museums, classes, and shopping. Your plan includes some of its best attractions: contemplate the long history of Colosseum, admire the masterpieces at Galleria Borghese, explore the ancient world of Palatine Hill, and browse the exhibits of Vatican Museums.

To find traveler tips, more things to do, where to stay, and tourist information, refer to the Rome trip itinerary planner.

If you are flying in from Belgium, the closest major airports are Leonardo da Vinci–Fiumicino Airport and Ciampino–G. B. Pastine International Airport. In August, plan for daily highs up to 38°C, and evening lows to 24°C. Cap off your sightseeing on the 9th (Fri) early enough to travel back home.
