Begin with one of the most popular neighbourhoods in Rome, Piazza di Spagna, a square home to the famous Spanish Steps and captivating historical buildings from the 17th and 18th centuries. Here you can take the perfect photos for your Instagram story on the boat-shaped steps and enjoy some of the best views of Rome at the top of Pincian Hill.
Next, take a nine minute walk to the largest fountain in the city, the Trevi Fountain. Enjoy the breathtaking sight and throw a coin into the fountain to guarantee your return to Rome (trust us, at this point you’ll already be planning your next trip!)
Grab yourself a delicious Italian coffee from one of the nearby cafès before starting a 13 minute walk to the charming Piazza Navona. Here you can view three baroque-style fountains, Fontana dei Quattro Fiumi, Fontana del Moro and Fontana del Nettuno before choosing one of the restaurants that line the piazza for a tasty dinner.

There is a lot to see in Rome from ancient building remains, a wide range of museums, delicious cuisine and beautiful views. In order to experience everything without a rush, we recommend visiting Rome for three days.
When visiting Rome for the first time, a stay in the historic centre is a good choice. Hotels near the Pantheon, Roman Forum and Piazza Navona are excellent locations for close transport and walking routes.
For a three day trip to Rome, we recommend budgeting for €100 - €150 a day. However depending on your budget you can do Rome for much less!
When planning your trip consider:
Keeping these aspects of your trip in mind can help you budget appropriately.
For warm weather with fewer crowds, we recommend visiting between March and May, or October and November. If you prefer hot weather and don’t mind navigating busier crowds, visit between June and September.
No, as long as you don’t exceed the visa-free limit. With a British passport, you can visit Italy for up to 90 days in any 180-day period. If you have an EU passport, you can visit Italy for up to 90 days without any formalities.
There is no strict guide on what to wear in Rome, however if you’re travelling in the warmer months there are a few things to keep in mind.
Opt for light and airy clothing to help with the heat, such as clothing made of linen. Make sure you have sunglasses and a sun hat to provide shade from the sun no matter where you venture. And don’t forget some dressier outfits for evening meals and drinks!
If you plan on visiting religious sites, make sure to pack modest clothing as these places have a modest dress code for entry.
The religious buildings in Rome, such as Vatican City, the Pantheon, St Peter’s Basilica and the Sistine Chapel, have a strict modest dress code. This means ensuring your chest, knees and shoulders are covered.
The modest dress code applies to everyone, no matter their gender identity, and failure to dress modestly can result in being turned away.
