I have been to Rome 3 times and It’s one of my favourite cities. No trip to Rome can ever be the same, and you will always discover new things in the city. I decided to create a 3-day Rome itinerary which I hope will be useful for a first-time visitor. This itinerary is based on walking so it would suit an active person. The attractions have been grouped in terms of location to make things easier. I have visited all the places on this itinerary and it worked well for me on my last trip.

Have fun in Rome! Wear good walking shoes because Rome has many cobblestone streets. Also… be careful crossing the roads because drivers pretty much do whatever they want in Italy (haha!) on this same trip, I watched a car crash into the back of a bus and then quickly speed off without a word. Enjoy the pizza, pasta, and piazzas 🙂
Ciao bella.
