3.5 hours
🕒 09:00–19:00
The mighty 2,000-year-old amphitheatre, plus the Roman Forum and Palatine Hill on a single ticket — the beating heart of ancient Rome. Book a timed slot; a guided or arena-floor upgrade is worth it.

⛲ Piazza Navona & Spanish Steps
Centro Storico, Rome
leisure
1.5 hours
A baroque promenade — Bernini's Fountain of the Four Rivers on elegant Piazza Navona, the Spanish Steps, Campo de' Fiori's market and a tangle of lanes full of cafés, churches and artisan shops. The soul of strolling Rome.

The Tomb of the Unknown Soldier is here.
✓ Day 2
05 / 16
🍊 Aventine Hill (Orange Garden & Keyhole)
Aventine, Rome
leisure
1 hour
🕒 07:00–21:00
A peaceful hilltop escape — the Giardino degli Aranci (Orange Garden) with its framed view over the city, and the famous Knights of Malta keyhole that perfectly frames St Peter's dome down a hedged avenue. Free and magical at sunset.
06 / 16
🎨 Vatican Museums & Sistine Chapel
Vatican City
culture
3.5 hours
🕒 09:00–18:00

08 / 16
🏛 Pantheon
Centro Storico, Rome
culture
1 hour
🕒 09:00–19:00
The best-preserved building of ancient Rome — a 2,000-year-old temple with the world's largest unreinforced concrete dome and its open oculus to the sky. Raphael's tomb lies inside. A short, jaw-dropping visit.
09 / 16
⛲ Trevi Fountain
Centro Storico, Rome
leisure
0.5 hours

Capitoline Hill, Rome
culture
2 hours
🕒 09:30–19:30

11 / 16
🏰 Castel Sant'Angelo
Rome
culture
1.5 hours
🕒 09:00–19:30
Hadrian's cylindrical mausoleum turned papal fortress on the Tiber, linked to the Vatican by a secret passage — spiral ramps, papal apartments and a rooftop terrace with one of Rome's best views. Crossed by the angel-lined Ponte Sant'Angelo.

🏟 Baths of Caracalla
Aventine, Rome
culture
1.5 hours
🕒 09:00–19:15
The towering brick ruins of one of antiquity's grandest bath complexes — soaring walls, surviving mosaics and a real sense of imperial scale, often blissfully uncrowded. Outstanding value, and a summer-opera venue.
15 / 16
🕯 Catacombs & Appian Way
Via Appia Antica, Rome
culture
2 hours
🕒 09:00–17:00
An atmospheric guided descent into the early-Christian burial tunnels (San Callisto or San Sebastiano) beneath the ancient Appian Way — miles of carved galleries and frescoed crypts. Pair it with a walk or bike along the cobbled Roman road. Closed Wednesdays.
16 / 16
🌋 Pompeii
Pompeii (day trip)
culture
3.5 hours
🕒 09:00–17:00

🛬
Airport → your hotel
Rome Fiumicino (FCO) is about 30 km from the city centre. The Leonardo Express runs non-stop to Roma Termini in 32 min (~€14). A taxi to the historic centre (within the Aurelian Walls) is a fixed €55 for up to 4 passengers. Add your hotel on the Day-by-Day tab for an exact distance and fare. Verified Jul 2026.
💰
Ways to spend less
Roma Pass — €38 for 48 hours (one free attraction) or €62.90 for 72 hours (two free attractions), both including unlimited public transport. Reduced entry to everything after the free ones, up to about 35% off.
Use the free entries on the dearest sights — the Colosseum/Forum/Palatine combined ticket first.
🆘
Emergencies
112 — single EU emergency line (English-speaking) for police, ambulance and fire. Free, 24/7.
📱
SIM & data
Carriers: TIM, Vodafone, WindTre. Prepaid SIMs widely available; or an eSIM. EU plans usually include Italy.
🌤
Best time to visit
April–June and September–October have warm, pleasant weather and lighter crowds. July–August is hot and packed (and many trattorias close in August). Winter is mild, quiet and atmospheric.
🚇
Getting around
The historic centre is best on foot — it's compact but cobbled, so wear good shoes. The two metro lines and buses fill the gaps (tap or buy tickets, validate them). Beware pickpockets on crowded buses and at big sights. <strong>ATAC</strong> tickets cover metro/bus/tram — a <strong>Roma 24h</strong> pass is ~€7, 48h ~€12.50, 72h ~€18 (unlimited) — while the <strong>Roma Pass</strong> (48h ~€36) adds transit plus free/discounted museums; hop-on buses run ~€25–30 (1-day).
🚌
Hop-on-hop-off buses
<strong>Big Bus Rome</strong> and <strong>City Sightseeing</strong> run open-top loops past the Colosseum, the Vatican, Piazza Venezia and the area near the Trevi Fountain (~€30, 1-day) — handy for the bigger distances, while the centro storico is best on foot.
💶
Tipping & coperto
Service is usually included; a "coperto" (cover charge) is normal and tipping is modest — round up or leave a euro or two. Tap water is safe and the city's free nasoni fountains are everywhere.
🛂
Visa for Indians
Indian passport holders need a Schengen short-stay visa (apply through Italy/VFS) with biometrics. Fee ~€90; processing about 15 working days. Apply several weeks ahead with insurance and bookings.
🎟
Book timed tickets
The Colosseum, Vatican Museums and Borghese Gallery all need timed entry that sells out — book online ahead. The Vatican is closed Sundays (except the free last Sunday); Borghese is closed Mondays and requires a reservation.
🍝
Food to try
The four Roman pastas — carbonara, cacio e pepe, amatriciana and gricia — plus supplì, pizza al taglio, saltimbocca and a gelato. Eat where the menu is short and in Italian.
🏛
Dress for churches
St Peter's and most churches require covered shoulders and knees — carry a scarf. Security at the Vatican and Colosseum is airport-style, so travel light.
