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.

Take a break from Rome with a short trip to Villa d'Este in Tivoli, about 48 minutes away. And it doesn't end there: explore the ancient world of Palatine Hill, admire the masterpieces at Vatican Museums, appreciate the extensive heritage of Piazza Navona, and ponder the design of Trevi Fountain.
