7 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.

Colosseum and St. Peter's Basilica are good opportunities to explore the local culture. You'll enjoy a bit of beach vacationing at Acqua e Sale - Stabilimento Balneare and V Lounge Beach Club. Change things up with a short trip to Point Break in Fregene (about 42 minutes away). The adventure continues: explore the world behind art at Vatican Museums, wander the streets of Via Condotti, steep yourself in history at Palatine Hill, and stop by Trastevere.
