Perfect Rome Itineraries

How long should you spend in Rome? Whether you have one, two, or three days, here's what to see and do in the time you have to spend in Rome, Italy.

I'd give Rome a lifetime—though I guess you could settle for a minimum of three to four days. Then again, I'm not on your vaction schedule, and for all I know you have but a precious day or two to spend on the wonders of the Eternal City.

With that in mind, here are several perfect itineraries that'll help you pack as much sightseeing as possible into however much time you have to spend in Rome.

1 day in Rome
2 days in Rome
3 days in Rome

I'll only bother providing schedules for one, two, and three days in Rome—I figure, if you have more time that that, you'll really start branching out into lesser-known sights and experiences that appeal to you personally, and who am I to tell you what to do? To that end, I've also compiled quick lists of both the top sights in Rome and of my own favorite sights and experiences after living there for total of about five years, on and off, since I was 11 years old.

These are merely blueprints; you really should spend your time on whatever catches your own interest. Some people would rather get a root canal than spend a day strolling the boutique-lined streets radiating from the Spanish Steps, but for others a day of window-shopping would rank as the highlight of their trip. Same goes for cramming a dozen churches and museums into a single day: heaven for some, hell on earth for others.

Keep in mind that you may have to adjust these itineraries in case one of the days you're in town happens to fall on a Monday (when most museums are closed) or a Sunday (when many things are closed, and those that remain open tend to operate on shorter hours).
