Rome, the Eternal City at your own pace
Rome feels like an open-air museum. Around every corner, a baroque fountain, a church or an ancient column reminds you of centuries of history.
The Colosseum, the Roman Forum and Palatine Hill form the heart of ancient Rome. The Vatican, the Trevi Fountain, the Pantheon and Piazza Navona complete the list of must-see sights.
In the evening, head to Trastevere for its cobbled lanes and trattorias. A guided tour of the Colosseum helps you understand what you see and find your way among the ruins.

Frequently asked questions about Rome
What should I see in Rome on a first trip?
The Colosseum, the Roman Forum, Palatine Hill, the Vatican with St Peter's Basilica and the Sistine Chapel, the Trevi Fountain and the Pantheon. Leave time to wander through Trastevere.
How many days do you need in Rome?
A short stay covers the main ancient sites and the Vatican. Add time for museums, quieter neighborhoods or a trip outside the city.
When is the best time to visit Rome?
Spring and fall bring mild weather and pleasant days for walking. Summer is hot and the sights are crowded, while winter is quieter.
Do you need to book Colosseum tickets in advance?
Booking ahead is recommended, especially in high season. A guided tour often combines the Colosseum, the Roman Forum and Palatine Hill.
What can you do in Rome with kids?
The Colosseum and its gladiator stories fascinate children. Add a gelato near the Trevi Fountain, the gardens of Villa Borghese or a pizza in Trastevere.
