Rome
ItalyRome feels like an open-air museum wrapped around lively neighbourhood life: you can spend the morning among ancient ruins, then settle into a trattoria in a side street for a long, unhurried meal. It shines when you balance the big sights with slower pockets of the city, because there’s always another church, piazza, or gelato stop waiting just around the corner.

How many days do you need in Rome?
4 days is the right length for a first trip to Rome. That covers the Colosseum and the Forum, the Vatican Museums and St Peter's, and Trastevere at a walking pace. With fewer days you see the highlights at a brisk pace; with more, add a day trip to Tivoli or Ostia Antica.
