5 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.

Get some cultural insight at Pantheon and Colosseum. The adventure continues: steep yourself in history at St. Peter's Basilica, admire the local landmark of Trevi Fountain, pause for some serene contemplation at Church of St. Louis of the French, and admire the masterpieces at Galleria Borghese.

Expect a daytime high around 16°C in December, and nighttime lows around 4°C. Wrap up your sightseeing on the 18th (Mon) early enough to travel back home.
