4 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.

You'll explore and learn at Vatican Museums and Museo Nazionale di Castel Sant'Angelo. Colosseum and Piazza Navona will appeal to history buffs. There's still lots to do: steep yourself in history at St. Peter's Basilica, make a trip to Trevi Fountain, explore the world behind art at Galleria Borghese, and browse the exhibits of Sistine Chapel.
