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.

Attractions like Colosseum and Piazza Navona make great kid-friendly stops. Visit Pantheon and Villa d'Este for their historical value. Get out of town with these interesting Rome side-trips: Civita di Bagnoregio (in Bagnoregio), Museo Geologico e delle Frane (in Civita di Bagnoregio) and Orvieto (Pozzo di San Patrizio, Rocca Albornoziana, &more). There's still lots to do: don't miss a visit to Centro Storico Associazione Centro Storico, explore the world behind art at Vatican Museums, pause for some serene contemplation at Santa Maria in Trastevere, and ponder the design of Trevi Fountain.
