Rome works on two levels — the unmissable ancient sites everyone plans around, and the neighbourhoods like Trastevere and Monti that reward slower, less scheduled wandering.
Suggested Route (4–5 Days)
- Day 1 — Ancient Rome: The Colosseum, Roman Forum, and Palatine Hill.
- Day 2 — Vatican City: St. Peter’s Basilica and the Vatican Museums — book skip-the-line tickets in advance.
- Day 3 — Historic Center: The Pantheon, Trevi Fountain, and Piazza Navona.
- Days 4–5 — Trastevere: Cobblestone streets, trattorias, and a slower pace away from the main sights.
