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.

Pantheon has been added to your itinerary. Get outdoors at Colle del Gianicolo and Catacombs of Saint Callixtus. Change things up with these side-trips from Rome: Funivia del Gran Sasso D'Italia (in Assergi), Piani di Pezza (in Rocca di Mezzo) and Rieti (Valle Santa e Santuari Francescani & Sabine Hills). There's still lots to do: contemplate the long history of St. Peter's Basilica, explore the ancient world of Colosseum, hit the slopes at Piste da Fondo Cinque Confini, and explore the world behind art at Vatican Museums.
