Attractions of Rome
Rome is not a small city to conquer if you’re tight on schedule. It would be best to stick to the Palatine Hill area on the first day of your trip so you can see the Colosseum, the Pantheon at the Piazza de la Rotonda, and go up the Roman Forum to view the city from there. Your next stops after would be Michelangelo’s Piazza del Campidoglio and the famous Trevi Fountain.
Do not forget to include the Vatican City in your itinerary. The smallest country in the whole world is a must-see regardless of your religion. It is home to most of the famous artwork and architectural genius that ever graced this planet like Michelangelo’ Sistine Chapel, the sculptures at St. Peter’s Square, and the grand St. Peter’s Basilica. One of the most famous museums in the world is in Vatican, the Vatican Museum. It is home to the grandest collection of artwork and also the best stop for a light lunch.
