6 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, museums, nightlife, shopping, and classes. Your plan includes some of its best attractions: contemplate the long history of St. Peter's Basilica, make a trip to Spanish Steps, delve into the distant past at Palatine Hill, and admire the landmark architecture of Pantheon.

Expect a daytime high around 32°C in September, and nighttime lows around 18°C. Finish up your sightseeing early on the 6th (Thu) so you can travel back home.
