Rome
Day 1 - 5
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 5 days in Rome trip
he best time to travel to Rome is during the shoulder seasons of spring (April–June) and fall (September–October). These months offer pleasant weather and fewer crowds, making it ideal for sightseeing at popular landmarks like the Colosseum and Vatican City without the intense heat of summer.
On average, a mid-range budget for a trip to Italy is about $240 per person per day, which includes a 4-star hotel and popular activities. A more budget-friendly trip starts at around $115 per person per day. The total cost will vary depending on your choice of accommodations and dining.
A 5-day trip to Rome is a deep dive into history and art. Highlights include a guided tour of the Colosseum's underground and the Roman Forum, and exploring the Vatican Museums to see the Sistine Chapel. You can also toss a coin in the Trevi Fountain or discover the catacombs and ancient underground sites.
Be sure to book skip-the-line tickets for major attractions like the Colosseum and Vatican Museums well in advance to avoid long waits. For an authentic Roman experience, wander through the historic neighborhood of Trastevere and explore the local markets for fresh food.
