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.

Appreciate the collections at Vatican Museums and St. Peter's Basilica. Get some cultural insight at Palatine Hill and Church of St. Louis of the French. And it doesn't end there: delve into the distant past at Colosseum, get to know the fascinating history of Piazza Navona, steep yourself in history at Foro di Augusto, and make a trip to Pantheon.
