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.

Attractions like Colosseum and Catacombe di San Callisto make great kid-friendly stops. Change things up with a short trip to Villa d'Este in Tivoli (about 48 minutes away). There's lots more to do: ponder the design of Trevi Fountain, delve into the distant past at Palatine Hill, steep yourself in history at St. Peter's Basilica, and make a trip to Pantheon.
