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.

Family-friendly places like Colosseum and Piazza Navona will thrill your kids. There's lots more to do: delve into the distant past at Pantheon, explore the world behind art at Galleria Borghese, take in the spiritual surroundings of Vatican Museums, and don't miss a visit to Spanish Steps.
