41 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.

Get out of town with these interesting Rome side-trips: Cascata delle Marmore (in Marmore), Decugnano dei Barbi (in Orvieto) and Sabbianera Super Beach (in Anguillara Sabazia). There's still lots to do: delve into the distant past at Colosseum, contemplate the long history of St. Peter's Basilica, admire the local landmark of Trevi Fountain, and admire the landmark architecture of Pantheon.
