3 daysRomePlanned by Trippad

Three days through two and a half millennia — ancient Rome, the Vatican, and the centro storico piazzas, paced with long lunches and an evening in Trastevere.

08:30 – 11:00·2h 30m
Colosseum
Book the first entry slot and walk into the arena while the light is still low. The underground hypogeum tour is worth the upgrade — it's where the lifts and lions waited.
Colosseo
11:15 – 13:15·2h
Roman Forum and Palatine Hill
Same ticket, same morning: walk the Via Sacra past the Senate house, then climb the Palatine for the view over the whole forum — emperors picked this hill for a reason.
Foro Romano
Walking·15m
13:45 – 15:15·1h 30m
Lunch in Monti
Rome's oldest quarter hides behind the forum: cobbled lanes, vintage shops and proper trattorie. Ai Tre Scalini or La Taverna dei Fori Imperiali — book either, both fill.

Capitoline Hill and the Campidoglio
Michelangelo's piazza with the she-wolf and Marcus Aurelius on horseback. Slip round the right side of the palazzo for the free balcony view straight down the Forum.
Piazza del Campidoglio

Sunset from the Orange Garden
Giardino degli Aranci on the Aventine: umbrella pines, orange trees and all of Rome laid out to St Peter's. Peek through the Knights of Malta keyhole two doors up.
