7 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.

Take a break from the city and head to Colle del Gianicolo and Riva di Polline. You'll explore and learn at Vatican Museums and Musei Capitolini. Take a break from Rome with a short trip to Riserva Naturale Monte Soratte in Sant'Oreste, about 56 minutes away. There's still lots to do: take a stroll through Trastevere, delve into the distant past at Colosseum, admire the striking features of Pantheon, and make a trip to Piazza Navona.
