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 Riserva Naturale Monte Soratte. You'll explore and learn at Vatican Museums and Galleria Borghese. Take a break from Rome with a short trip to Riva di Polline in Trevignano Romano, about 48 minutes away. There's still lots to do: explore the ancient world of Colosseum, admire the landmark architecture of Pantheon, take a stroll through Trastevere, and make a trip to St. Peter's Basilica.
