9 days in Rome Itinerary

Aptly nicknamed the Eternal City, Rome is the birthplace of the Roman Empire, one of the world's greatest civilizations ever.

Go for a jaunt from Rome to Tivoli to see Villa d'Este about 48 minutes away. There's lots more to do: make a trip to St. Peter's Basilica, explore the world behind art at Galleria Borghese, explore the galleries of Vatican Museums, and take in the spiritual surroundings of Cupola di San Pietro.
