10 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.

Venture out of the city with trips to Convento di San Cosimato (in Vicovaro) and Tivoli (Villa d'Este & Villa Adriana). There's still lots to do: steep yourself in history at St. Peter's Basilica, admire the striking features of Pantheon, delve into the distant past at Colosseum, and explore the world behind art at Galleria Borghese.
