22 days in Rome Itinerary

Aptly nicknamed the Eternal City, Rome is the birthplace of the Roman Empire, one of the world's greatest civilizations ever.

Get out of town with these interesting Rome side-trips: Museo multimediale di Caprarola (in Caprarola), Porta Maggiore o di Castello (in Anguillara Sabazia) and Culture Discovery Vacations - Cooking Classes & Vacations (in Soriano nel Cimino). There's still lots to do: steep yourself in history at St. Peter's Basilica, get to know the fascinating history of Piazza Navona, explore the ancient world of Colosseum, and ponder the design of Trevi Fountain.
