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.

Step off the beaten path and head to Villa Borghese and Cupola di San Pietro. Get some historical perspective at Colosseum and Piazza Navona. There's much more to do: contemplate in the serene atmosphere at Vatican Museums, delve into the distant past at Palatine Hill, make a trip to Vatican Necropolis, and take in the architecture and atmosphere at Basilica di San Pietro in Vincoli.
