8 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.

Go for a jaunt from Rome to Tivoli to see Villa d'Este about 48 minutes away. And it doesn't end there: delve into the distant past at Palatine Hill, contemplate the long history of St. Peter's Basilica, appreciate the extensive heritage of Piazza Navona, and admire the striking features of Pantheon.
