Rome in 3 days

A relaxed plan to see ancient Rome, the Vatican and the flavours of Trastevere without rushing.

3 days · Italy · Rome

  1. Day 1

    Arrival and ancient Rome

    Settle in at your hotel and spend the day in the heart of imperial Rome: the Colosseum, the Forum and Palatine Hill. A guided visit helps you make sense of what you see. End with a sunset walk on the Capitoline Hill.

    Free day: wander, rest or improvise.

    Tip: Book the first slot of the morning: fewer crowds and less heat.

  2. Day 2

    The Vatican and the historic centre

    Morning for the Vatican Museums and the Sistine Chapel. In the afternoon, cross the river and walk to Piazza Navona, the Pantheon and the Trevi Fountain.

    Free day: wander, rest or improvise.

    Tip: Keep shoulders and knees covered: it is required to enter the basilica.

  3. Day 3

    Trastevere and Roman flavours

    A last, unhurried day: market, Trastevere's lanes and a food route to taste supplì, carbonara and pizza al taglio.

    Free day: wander, rest or improvise.

Before you go

Rome is best explored on foot, in comfortable shoes. Buy Colosseum and Vatican tickets in advance, especially from April to October.
