We would normally suggest that a visitor to Rome needs at least 5 days to get the full feel for the city. Especially if you are travelling with a family as you will need more time to organize yourselves, not to mention, if you are planning on joining as many of the <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.vaticantour.com\/private-rome-night-tour\">best family tours that Rome<\/a><\/strong> has to offer<strong>.<\/strong> However, if you only have a couple days available you are still able to see a majority of the \u2018must see\u2019 sites, and below we will tell you how to do this while avoiding the mass crowds.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3><p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"color: #000080;\">Where to start?<\/span><\/p><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">First of all, we think that it is important to separate the\nlarger ticketed sites such as the Vatican Museums and the Colosseum &amp; Roman\nForum so that you visit them on different days. There is simply so much to see\nin these sites that it can be mentally and physically exhausting visiting both\nof them on the same day.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">It is also important to book your <a href=\"https:\/\/www.vaticantour.com\/vatican-city-tour-3-hour-semi-private\">tour of the Vatican<\/a> and the tour of the\nColosseum in advance as this will save you time. When visiting with our\norganized groups you will skip the large lines and the guide will bring you the\nmost direct route through the sites ensuring that you are not wasting precious\ntime.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3><p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"color: #000080;\">Day 1: <\/span><\/p><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<h4><p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"color: #000080;\">Morning<\/span><\/p><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">As this will be your first day in Rome we think that you\nshould give yourself a bit of free time to get an idea of the city and the area\nsurrounding your hotel. If your accommodation does not offer breakfast then we\nsuggest that you go for a quick bite to eat in one of the local bars. An\nItalian \u2018caffe bar\u2019 breakfast usually consists of an espresso caffe or\ncappuccino, and a cornetto (croissant) or other sweet pastry.&nbsp; It may not seem like a lot but it should be\nenough to get your body energized to explore the sites.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">After breakfast we suggest that you head into the heart of\nRome to see some of the beautiful monuments which are for the most part free,\nand easy to access without a reservation.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong>Piazza Navona: <\/strong>Once\nan ancient stadium built by the Emperor Domitianus, it was used for many\ndifferent games based around athletic contests. If you see Piazza Navona from a\nmap you will see it has a large oval shape, just like Circus Maximus, which was\nalso an ancient stadium. But over the years, this piazza has slowly changed\ninto one of the most beautiful squares in Rome when it became the heart of\nBaroque Roman art and architecture in the 1600\u2019s. In the center of this square\nboasts the Fountain of the Four Rivers made by the great Baroque artist, Gian\nLorenzo Bernini which is definitely a must see in Rome.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.vaticantour.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/1.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"100%\" height=\"100%\" class=\"wp-image-2627\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.vaticantour.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/1.png 628w, https:\/\/www.vaticantour.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/1-300x201.png 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 709px) 85vw, (max-width: 909px) 67vw, (max-width: 984px) 61vw, (max-width: 1362px) 45vw, 600px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong>Pantheon: <\/strong>After\nvisiting Piazza Navona follow the signs and small streets towards the Pantheon,\nanother site which you cannot miss on your two day tour of Rome. This ancient\npagan temple was once built for all of the Gods, but has since been transformed\ninto a Catholic church. But the Pantheon is much more than a church; it is one\nof the best preserved ancient structures in the world, it is the burial site of\nthe painter Raffaele Sanzio (not to mention the Italian King Victor Emanuelle\nII), and it is an architectural wonder of the world as its dome is the world\u2019s\nlargest unreinforced concrete dome, after almost two thousand years after it was\nbuilt, that is pretty amazing. The Pantheon is free of charge so go in the\nmorning before the crowds arrive and take a good look at the beautiful\ndesigns that inspired generations of architects.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.vaticantour.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/2.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"100%\" height=\"100%\" class=\"wp-image-2628\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.vaticantour.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/2.png 628w, https:\/\/www.vaticantour.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/2-300x201.png 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 709px) 85vw, (max-width: 909px) 67vw, (max-width: 984px) 61vw, (max-width: 1362px) 45vw, 600px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong>Largo Argentina: <\/strong>Although\na much lesser known site in Rome, Largo Argentina is an amazing set of ruins\nwhich you should not miss when you are in the heart of Rome. The structures and\nruins which are visible today are of four different ancient Roman Temples which\ndate back to the 4th century BC. There are also ruins of the Theater of Pompey\nwhich makes this site very important as it is believed that Julius Caesar was\nassassinated when entering this theater.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">When you are in Largo Argentina you will also see many cats\nroaming around the ruins, that is because there is also a cat sanctuary below\nthe ruins which you are able to visit free of charge.

If you don\u2019t feel like going to a sit down restaurant then grab a\nslice of pizza, sit around the ruins and enjoy the view.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4><p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"color: #000080;\">Afternoon<\/span><\/p><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong>Piazza Venezia: <\/strong>Piazza\nVenezia is truly the heart of Rome, if you were to imagine Rome as a dart\nboard, Piazza Venezia would be the bullseye. Piazza Venezia also offers some\nmust see monuments, as well as some other very interesting sites which surround\nit. The National Monument of Victor Emanuelle II is the first one which will\ncatch your eye as it is impossible to miss. Nicknamed the wedding cake, it is\nvery easy to see why it got this name. This monument holds Italy\u2019s Eternal\nFlame as well as the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier so although many Romans aren\u2019t\nvery pleased with the aesthetics of the monument, it is still close to their\nheart.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.vaticantour.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/4.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"100%\" height=\"100%\" class=\"wp-image-2630\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.vaticantour.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/4.png 628w, https:\/\/www.vaticantour.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/4-300x191.png 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 709px) 85vw, (max-width: 909px) 67vw, (max-width: 984px) 61vw, (max-width: 1362px) 45vw, 600px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">As Piazza Venezia is just on the outskirts of the Ancient\nCity, it is the meeting point for our Colosseum and Roman Forum tour so I hope\nthat you booked in advance.

Stand on the newly built Arena Floor, climb the different tiers and\npicture yourself as a Roman Emperor, Senator, Gladiator or pleb.

Although the stairs were commissioned by the French\nin the 1700\u2019s, the stairs get their nickname from the Spanish Embassy which is\nclose by.

It is an amazing destination at any time, but\nduring the hours of darkness it turns into something magical as the bright\nlights simply enhance the sparkling blue water and the magnificent sculptures.\nNot to mention, the later you visit, the fewer tourists there will be. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">The Trevi Fountain is another great example of Baroque art,\nbuilt in the 1700\u2019s. It is one of the most famous fountains in the world, and\nthe largest fountain in Rome. You will see many people throwing coins into the\nfountain and we suggest doing the same.Put your back to the fountain, place the\ncoin in your right hand then throw the coin blindly over your left shoulder.\nOnce you have tossed your coin into the fountain, as far as superstitions go,\nyou can rest assured that you will return to Rome, and at this point you can\nhead back to your hotel and get a good night&#8217;s sleep as you have another big\nday to follow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.vaticantour.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/8.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"100%\" height=\"100%\" class=\"wp-image-2636\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.vaticantour.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/8.png 627w, https:\/\/www.vaticantour.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/8-300x210.png 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 709px) 85vw, (max-width: 909px) 67vw, (max-width: 984px) 61vw, (max-width: 1362px) 45vw, 600px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3><p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"color: #000080;\">Day 2:<\/span><\/p><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<h4><p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"color: #000080;\">Morning<\/span><\/p><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Similar to day one of your itinerary, we think that it is\nimportant to wake up on the right foot and allow yourself to start the day at\nyour own pace because as the saying goes, \u2018\u2019when in Rome, do as the Roman do\u2019\u2019.&nbsp; Head to your local cafe bar and start your\nday with an espresso and some fresh pastries and then hit the cobble stoned\nstreets. As Day 1 was quite busy, we think that you should allow yourself a\nlittle more time to enjoy Rome at a slightly slower pace, while checking off\nsome of the other things on your Rome bucket list.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong>Gianicolo Hill:<\/strong>\nOne of the best viewpoints of Rome is the Gianicolo Hill (Janiculum Hill), from\none view point you look east where you can see almost every monument in the\nEternal City.

It gets it name from the Archangel\nMichael where legend holds that he appeared above the castle marking the end of\nthe plague of 590AD. You can still see the angle at the top of the castle\ntoday.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">The Bridge of Angels is equally as impressive as it was also\ncompleted in 134AD again by Emperor Hadrian. The 10 angels along the top of the\nbridge were part of Gian Lorenzo Bernini\u2019s last project and although he was not\nalive to see them complete, they still show the beauty of Bernini&#8217;s magic. When\nyou are in the middle of the bridge you have great views of the Castle itself,\nand also the Vatican City which is our next stop after grabbing a bite to eat.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.vaticantour.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/10.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"100%\" height=\"100%\" class=\"wp-image-2638\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.vaticantour.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/10.png 628w, https:\/\/www.vaticantour.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/10-300x199.png 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 709px) 85vw, (max-width: 909px) 67vw, (max-width: 984px) 61vw, (max-width: 1362px) 45vw, 600px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h4><p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"color: #000080;\">Afternoon<\/span><\/p><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong>Vatican:<\/strong> Once you\nhave had a bite to eat, it is time to visit the Vatican and just like when\nvisiting the Colosseum, we suggest visiting the Vatican in the afternoon.

But we think that the cherry on the\ncake of the Vatican is when you step into St. Peter\u2019s Basilica, the largest\nchurch in the world. The Basilica took 120years, to complete, beginning in\n1506, completed in 1626. As soon as you enter, you may even be surprised that\nit took only 120years.
