An Insider's Guide to Rome

Rome is a city whose past and present are mingled on every corner. Iconic landmarks and captivating museums transport travelers back centuries, while bustling street markets and piazzas offer a lively taste of today’s culture. Italy’s capital appeals to all types of travelers, from families to couples, and its food scene is not to be missed. 

At least three days is ideal to get a taste of Rome’s amazing offerings, but with a longer stay, visitors can dig a little deeper into the Eternal City’s culture. After seeing famous stops like the Vatican and the Colosseum, don’t miss more intimate experiences, like viewing Bernini sculptures in the Borghese Gallery’s mansion setting or making the climb up Janiculum Hill for breathtaking city views.

A little grittier than Florence and more cosmopolitan than the Amalfi Coast, Rome is the perfect entry point for exploring Italy, offering easy access to other regions via high-speed train. Tack on a few extra days to visit fascinating Pompeii and Vesuvius, head to the wine regions of Tuscany, or unwind with stunning views on Lake Como.
