Best Time to Visit
April to June and September to October are ideal. Expect warm, pleasant weather, blooming gardens, and fewer tourists compared to peak summer months.
Minimum Days Recommended
4 full days are perfect to explore Rome’s essentials: historic sites, museums, neighborhoods, and of course, all the iconic eats.
Why Rome Stands Out
Rome isn’t just a city; it’s an experience. You’re walking the same streets once trodden by emperors and gladiators. Layered history, dazzling art, unforgettable cuisine, and that famous Italian charm make it a must-visit destination.
