3 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.

Kids will enjoy Colosseum and Palatine Hill. There's still lots to do: admire the local landmark of Trevi Fountain, pause for some serene contemplation at St. Clement Basilica, explore the world behind art at Galleria Borghese, and make a trip to Spanish Steps.
