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.

Your cultural itinerary includes sights like Trastevere and St. Peter's Basilica. Deepen your sense of the past at sights like Palatine Hill and Piazza Navona. Take a break from Rome with a short trip to Riva di Polline in Trevignano Romano, about 50 minutes away. And it doesn't end there: take in the awesome beauty at Monte Soratte, get engrossed in the history at Capitoline Museums, experience rural life at Azienda Agricola Fortunato, and admire the local landmark of Trevi Fountain.
