Day 1: Discovering the Vatican and Rome’s Wonders
Start your itinerary with a visit to the Vatican. Arrive early to avoid the crowds. Don’t miss the Vatican Museums and the Sistine Chapel, where you can admire Michelangelo’s masterpieces. If the weather isn’t great, no worries: the museum’s indoor route is perfect for a rainy day.
Day 2: Strolling Through the Heart of Rome
After exploring the Vatican, dedicate your second day to a walk through the historic center. Visit Castel Sant’Angelo, which offers a fantastic view of the city. If it rains, take shelter in one of Rome’s many historic cafés, such as Caffè Sant’Eustachio, where you can enjoy a delicious espresso.
Day 3: Ancient Marvels and Culture
On your last day, don’t miss the Colosseum and the Roman Forum. Booking tickets online is highly recommended to avoid long waits. If it rains, head to the Pantheon—an extraordinary and free site to visit. End the day with a stroll through the charming squares of Trastevere, where you’ll find cozy restaurants serving authentic Roman cuisine.
