Three Days in Rome – The Best Highlights
Overview
Rome stands as one of the oldest and most significant cities globally, serving as the heart of the Roman Empire and the Catholic Church, as well as Italy’s capital.
With a wealth of offerings—art, architecture, delicious food, stunning fountains, grand palaces, and beautiful parks—Rome caters to every taste. While it would take years to fully explore, the historical center is surprisingly compact, more akin to cities like Barcelona or Prague than to larger cities such as London or Paris.
Rome boasts Europe’s largest church (St. Peter’s Basilica), an ancient port reminiscent of Pompeii (Ostia Antica), and some of the world’s greatest museums, including the Vatican Museums, Villa Borghese, Capitoline Museums, Barberini, and the National Museums.
Roman cuisine is a delightful fusion of Italy’s best culinary traditions, with the pleasure of al fresco dining available for most of the year. Families will find ample activities for children, including parks and climbing structures.
