15 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.

You've now added Pantheon to your itinerary. Escape the urban bustle at Colle del Gianicolo and Catacombs of Saint Callixtus. Change things up with these side-trips from Rome: Riserva Naturale Monte Soratte (in Sant'Oreste), Monte Tuscolo (in Monte Porzio Catone) and Lido dei Cigni Stabilimento Balneare (in Anguillara Sabazia). And it doesn't end there: explore the ancient world of Colosseum, admire the masterpieces at Galleria Borghese, take in the spiritual surroundings of Vatican Museums, and admire the local landmark of Trevi Fountain.
