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.

Get some cultural insight at Pantheon and Piazza Navona. Next up on the itinerary: contemplate the long history of St. Peter's Basilica, ponder the design of Trevi Fountain, admire the masterpieces at Museo Nazionale di Castel Sant'Angelo, and wander the streets of Trastevere.

For reviews, maps, other places to visit, and other tourist information, go to the Rome day trip planner.

In December, plan for daily highs up to °C, and evening lows to °C. Wrap up your sightseeing on the 18th (Mon) early enough to travel back home.
