Rome in three days

Rome has a special atmosphere and energy. It is very diverse and every tourist perceives it differently. Rome amazingly combines antiquity, Renaissance art, different, sophisticated styles of architecture, classical music in the subway and from the windows of cars and buses, romance, delicious Italian national cuisine, emotional and pleasant people. Three days is enough to experience all this. And also for a more or less complete view of the sights of Rome. If you plan ahead and properly, you will have plenty of time to shop. To do this, I recommend carefully reading the articles Rome in 1 day, Excursion transport in Rome and Shopping in Rome. In this way, you will have an idea of the attractions of Rome and it will be easier for you to make a preliminary plan based on your taste and physical and financial capabilities. You can freely spend more time exploring the Vatican, the Colosseum, the Roman Forum, churches and museums, and tasting Italian cuisine.

This is what a map of Rome's attractions looks like:

And now I offer you sights that are not in the table of contents or in the article “Rome in 1 day.”
