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. There's still lots to do: steep yourself in history at Colosseum, don't miss a visit to Pantheon, appreciate the extensive heritage of Piazza Navona, and explore the world behind art at Vatican Museums.
