Rome is an extraordinary capital, and it can take weeks or
more to get in all the sites, cuisine, and culture. Travelling can often be stressful when
visiting a place that has so much to offer.
This list will pinpoint the absolute best places to visit if time is of
the essence.
Day 1 -
Vatican, St. Peter’s, Trastevere
To get the most out of your day, start early! You want to arrive at the Vatican in the
morning to beat the crowds. Be sure to
dress humbly in reverence of the religious city-state. Take an early walk and explore the global
city streets. You can sit on the
gorgeous Spanish Steps and take in the ethos, and people-watch before beginning
your adventure. Next, head over to the
Vatican museums. There are over 54
Christian and art galleries within the city, and the collections are stunning. Be sure to visit the Sistine Chapel, which holds
the striking ceiling art done by legendary artist, Michelangelo. Once you’ve gotten your fill of art, stop by
Via delle Grazie and grab some lunch. To
top your day off, have some fun at the beautiful neighborhood Trastevere. If possible, check out the award-winning La
Gatta Buia, they have an unbelievable Fiori di Zucca!
Day 2 -
Colosseum, Palatine Hill, Roman Forum
The best way to begin your second day is to hop aboard the
Metropolitana (subway) and take a ride to the Colosseo station. Once you've arrived, stop by the ticket
counter and purchase your one ticket that will grant access to the Colosseum,
Palatine Hill and the Roman Forum (If
possible, avoid first Sundays)! Be sure
to do some research on this ancient wonder beforehand so that you understand
what you’re exploring. There are many
spigots throughout the area with fresh water, grab a bottle before
leaving. Now, it’s time to hike up the
Palatine Hill! It may be wise to get a
private tour if possible. The views from
the hill towers are stunning and overlook the Roman Forum and Circus
Maximus. On your way back, keep left to
arrive at the Forum to take in even more majestic views. Grab some dinner and get some rest for your
final day!
Day 3 –
Pantheon, Largo di Torre Argentina, Piazza Navona
Begin your last day with an espresso and head over to the
Trevi fountain. Keep with tradition and
toss in a coin for good luck! Next, head
over to the Pantheon church. While
there, be sure to be respectful and keep your voice low. After a good lunch, stroll over to Largo di
Torre Argentina, which is also known as a cat sanctuary. The cats are well taken care of by a local
charity, and feeding them is prohibited.
Lastly, we have Piazza Navona to explore. This elegant showcase Square in Rome is built
on the Stadium of Domitian. If possible, visit at sunset as the sight of the
Square is awe-inspiring.
Now that you’ve accomplished an impressive three-day
tour. Enjoy a great glass of wine and
rest up before heading back from this wonderous city.
