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.

Get out of town with these interesting Rome side-trips: Tivoli (Villa Adriana & Villa d'Este), Le Palme (in Castel Gandolfo) and Grotte Dell'Arco (in Bellegra). There's much more to do: explore the ancient world of Colosseum, ponder the design of Trevi Fountain, get to know the fascinating history of Piazza Navona, and explore the world behind art at Galleria Borghese.
