3 days in rome Rome was not built in a day – it has thousands of years of history, which you will absorb into your bones if you stay long enough. However, most of us don’t have years to explore this magnificent museum of a city but instead maybe a couple of days at best. Envy Italy has put together a three-day tour to experience the essence of Rome which we hope will whet your appetite enough to have you come again soon to explore the city in more depth
If you have less than three days then decide which are your must-dos. For most it’s the main famous landmarks: the Colosseum, Pantheon, Spanish Steps and Trevi Fountain, which are all walkable in one day. So stick with your most-wanted list and enjoy the streets in-between where there are hidden delights along the way. One big tip when wandering Rome is to pop into any church you pass, as most are a haven of hidden architectural and artistic excellence.
If the Vatican is on your list, be aware that this is away from the landmarks above so it definitely should be done on a pre-booked tour basis. The Vatican is huge and the full tour lasts three and a half hours. This is well recommended as there are so many fantastic details and backstories you will miss otherwise.
