10 days in Rome & Tivoli Itinerary

Aptly nicknamed the Eternal City, Rome is the birthplace of the Roman Empire, one of the world's greatest civilizations ever.

Kids will appreciate attractions like Colosseum and Villa Borghese. Pantheon and Palatine Hill are good opportunities to explore the local culture. There's lots more to do: steep yourself in history at St. Peter's Basilica, get engrossed in the history at Le Domus Romane di Palazzo Valentini, make a trip to Domus Aurea, and explore the different monuments and memorials at Vatican Necropolis.
