Rome
Day 1 - 6
Experience Rome, the bustling capital of Italy. This city, rich with exciting history and culture, offers an unparalled mix of ancient explorations and modern living. Immerse yourself in the past and explore the Colosseum, the Roman Forum, and the Vatican. Wander through other must-see destinations like The Spanish Steps, Trevi Fountain, and Pantheon. Experiencing the culinary scene is a delight, from traditional pasta to world-renowned Italian gelati. You can explore daily markets such as Campo de' Fiori for local ingredients and fresh food. A stay in Rome promises great experiences all year round, but it is advisable to take seasonality into account. While spring (April–May) and fall (September–October) offer pleasant weather and less crowds, summer (June–August) has a lively, spirited atmosphere — but can also be hot. No matter when you go, visiting Rome promises an unforgettable journey through the centuries. The unique combination of a rich historical past mixed into a thriving and vibrant modern community makes Italy's Eternal City one of the world's most intriguing and inspiring tourist destinations.

Tips for your 1-week Rome itinerary
The most comfortable months to explore Rome, Tivoli, and Assisi are April–June and September–October. You’ll enjoy warm but not extreme temperatures, ideal for city walking tours and countryside day trips.
Hotel rates in Italy range from $55–$90 per night for budget stays, $90–$180 for mid-range, and $180–$270+ for boutique or luxury. Meals cost about $15–$30 in trattorias and $50–$100 for fine dining. Entrance fees like the Colosseum underground tour or Vatican Museums tickets add to the budget. Overall, five days can run from several hundred dollars to well over $1,500 per person, depending on travel style.
Key highlights include the Colosseum with its underground chambers, the Vatican Museums and St. Peter’s Basilica, and Rome’s iconic piazzas and fountains. Day trips to Tivoli’s Renaissance gardens at Villa d’Este and Assisi’s Basilica of St. Francis add cultural depth. Activities such as guided walking tours, food tastings, or day excursions enrich the experience.
Book skip-the-line tickets for the Vatican Museums and Colosseum well in advance. Wear comfortable shoes for extensive walking, and use trains or transfers for efficient day trips to Tivoli and Assisi. Staying central in Rome saves time when exploring the city’s main sights.
