Rome is known for historic sites, sightseeing, religious sites, museums, and nightlife. Your plan includes some of its best attractions: ponder the design of Trevi Fountain, take a stroll through Trastevere, delve into the distant past at Palatine Hill, and admire the landmark architecture of Pantheon.
