take a look at this site, it show you what you can see in Rome in 48 or 36 hours, intinerary etc..

Answer 2

Ah Rome, how exciting! I've been there twice, last time was about a year ago. Any decent travel book will direct you to the major tourist spots (Colosseum, Trevi Fountain, Vatican, etc) so just pick one up at a book store. One of my favorite places is St. Peter's Cathedral, it's just amazing. Be sure to walk to the very top for an incredible view of Rome. You'll need all three days to see everything, but more days would be better. And of course, reserve some time to just sit and sip a cappuccino in Piazza Navona http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Piazza_Navona.

For high-end "foo foo" shopping visit the stores near the Spanish Steps at the Piazza di Spagna.

For dining, I don't have any favorites, they all were good.

You can also find stuff online. Here are some useful websites:

Answer 3

Hi - I went to Rome with my BF for 4 days and it was the most lovley city i've been to. Stayed at the Palace Hotel, part of the Boscolo group a beautiful hotel on Via Veneto. Was a lovely 30min walk ish to Vatican but was lovely walk along the river and saw lots of Rome. Points of interest - Spanish Steps, Trevi fountain, Pantheon, the Colosseum. Walked everywhere when we were there, didn't get taxis at all.

Answer 4

Vatican, Colosseum, Sistine Chapel, Trevi Fountain, Spanish Steps and the most expensive toy shop. You also have to see Rome at night where all the street artists come to the main square. Its one good trip. Choose to relax with a cold drink in a street side cafe where you can watch people walking by. Its amazing.

Answer 5

If you are gong to Rome for only 3 days go on city tours of Rome and vicinity including one evening tour with a great dinner.You wont be sorry.Buy the best tours at the desk at the Excelcior on the via venato.The hotel is next to the American Embassy. The Hotel ls expensive .Your travel agent should be able to find you a more reasonable hotel in the immediate area.

Answer 6

Buy a streetmap and walk. There are sights to see around every corner. The PIazza Navona is best visited at night , very lively as is the Campo de Fiore.
Rome can be a cheap place to eat and drink just walk a few yards from the main tourist sights and the prices of food and drink are very reasonable. Eat & drink where the Romans do .

Enjoy

Answer 7

I love Italy, but 3 days is not long enough !!! Rome is wonder full, you will need a lot of money!!! Watch out for pic pockets,they are very clever.Some places you could visit are , The Spanish Steps, The Vatican, Venice, The Colisseum, I could go on forever. Have a really wonder full time.

Answer 8

Take one day to see Vatican City, don't forget to prepurchase your Vatican Museum tickets. Another day should be spent in the centre of rome. Piazza Navona, Colisseum, palantine hill, and the pantheon can all be seen on foot in a day. Check out Tge Trevi Fountain and Spanish steps after dark. Lots of good places to eat in Trastevere. I would spend my third day at he Villa Bourghese.

Answer 9

in case you flow to the vatican, be certain that you flow on an afternoon the pope comes out to bless the crew, i presumed it became Sunday and Weds yet double verify. deliver some rosary beads and carry them up so as that they get blessed. in my opinion, I loved the Roman communicate board, the catacombs, the fountain of Trevi, in case you're taking the practice or bus, dont take a handbag, they from time to time decrease the bottom of the handbag so each little thing comes out. The spanish steps are astounding, for sure there is the colloseum. evaluate procuring a photo from an artist on the bridge. very few innovations, it turned right into slightly in the past I went.
