3 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.

Rome is known for historic sites, sightseeing, and nightlife. Your trip includes some of its best attractions: steep yourself in history at St. Peter's Basilica, explore the world behind art at Galleria Borghese, explore the ancient world of Palatine Hill, and don't miss a visit to Roman Forum.

In December, plan for daily highs up to 16°C, and evening lows to 4°C. Finish your sightseeing early on the 27th (Wed) to allow enough time to travel back home.
