It was my first trip to Europe. I was young, na\u00efve and packed elbow-to-elbow with my tour mates as we all scrambled to capture that iconic photo and ensure our return journey to the Eternal City. I can\u2019t say for certain that it is the fountain\u2019s magic that has since brought me back, but I do know that Rome filled me with a sense of awe at the grandiosity of time and a need for constant exploration and discovery. Rome is chaotic, overwhelming and impossible to soak up in three days, but that\u2019s the beauty of it. You will need to go back, again\u2026 and again.<\/p>\n<p>So, let\u2019s get started on our adventure. The 3-day Rome itinerary suggested below assumes you land in the morning and need to adjust to your new time zone quickly. However, if you arrive later in the afternoon or evening, simply explore your new neighborhood, find a quaint local taverna or osteria and begin with Day 2 the following morning and return to our outlined Day 1 for your last day.<\/p>\n<h2><strong><a name=\"travel\"><\/a>Getting To Rome<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Before we start exploring this remarkable city, let&#8217;s talk briefly about how to get there and where to stay. Since its inception as a small town in beginning in the eighth century B.C, Rome has expanded into a bustling metropolis with numerous transportation and accommodation options. If you&#8217;re flying in from the states, major carriers like American, Delta and United fly direct from cities like New York, Boston, Philadelphia, Chicago, and Miami. It&#8217;s best to <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.winetraveler.com\/afwd\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">track flight deals from your home airport<\/a><\/strong> as they arise and book as soon as possible. At the time of this writing, prices have been going up. <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.winetraveler.com\/afwd\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Short-haul flights<\/a><\/strong> are also easy to find directly into Rome if you&#8217;re already in Europe. You can also <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.viator.com\/tours\/Rome\/Airport-to-Rome-Private-Transfer\/d511-118431P12?pid=P00036374&amp;uid=U00108496&amp;mcid=58086\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">book private airport-to-hotel transfers<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>Alternatively, you can take a train from many mainland major European cities.<\/p>\n<h2><strong><a name=\"hotels\"><\/a>Recommended Hotels<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>When it comes to accommodation in Rome, here at Winetraveler we like to think about upscale properties in ideal locations. For instance, we recently stayed at the opulent <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.winetraveler.com\/palazzo-manfredi\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">5-star Palazzo Manfredi<\/a><\/strong> and woke up to stunning views of the Colosseum right outside our window.<\/p>\n<p>Another great upscale option in Central Rome within 15 minutes of many of the major sites and landmarks is the <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.winetraveler.com\/dharma\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Dharma Boutique Hotel &amp; SPA<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>If you&#8217;re a foodie like we are, and are looking to experience the lively bohemian side of the city, stay in the Trastevere neighborhood at the <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.winetraveler.com\/donna-camilla\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Donna Camilla Savelli<\/a>.\u00a0<\/strong>Regardless of which hotel you choose, Rome is a very walkable city, just keep in mind that the summer months are very warm indeed.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_4166\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-4166\" style=\"width: 300px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.winetraveler.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/rome-itinerary-3-days-winetraveler.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-4166 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.winetraveler.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/rome-itinerary-3-days-winetraveler-e1652758319117.jpg\" alt=\"Rome Itinerary 3 Days - What To and See in Rome Italy | Winetraveler.com\" width=\"300\" height=\"400\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.winetraveler.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/rome-itinerary-3-days-winetraveler-e1652758319117.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.winetraveler.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/rome-itinerary-3-days-winetraveler-e1652758319117-225x300.jpg 225w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-4166\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Yes!

It\u2019s a busy city with 2.7 million residents and you\u2019re likely running on adrenaline or already experiencing the exhaustion from the overnight flight. Either way, fresh air and sunshine will help to reset your internal clock and get you started on the right foot. Store your luggage at your hotel, or rental if possible (alternatively, the airport and train stations also have storage options), then grab a sandwich or fruit at a nearby market and make your way outside of the city to the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.parcoappiaantica.it\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Appia Antica Regional Park<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>All Roads Lead to Rome <\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>The 8,650-acre park, closed to traffic on Sundays, is filled with paths for biking and walking. The most famous of the paths and the primary reason for visiting is the Via Appia Antica, believed to be the oldest road in Rome, built in 312 B.C. Either <a href=\"https:\/\/www.getyourguide.com\/rome-l33\/appia-antica-full-day-bike-rental-with-customizable-routes-t388571\/?partner_id=VUS1EVA&amp;utm_medium=online_publisher&amp;placement=content-middle&amp;cmp=3-day-rome-itinerary\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>rent a bike<\/strong><\/a> or take a leisurely stroll along the quiet, scenic and ancient road, perfect for an afternoon picnic. It\u2019s a wonderfully contradictory way to begin your Roman adventure, away from the bustle of the city and on the very roads once traversed by Julius Caesar, Augustus, Cicero, Mark Antony and millions of others. The enormity of it is almost tangible.<\/p>\n<p>After an afternoon in the park, collect your luggage, check into your hotel or apartment and freshen up for the evening ahead. Being Winetravelers, it\u2019s now time for glass of Italian wine and a snack before heading to the <em><strong>Colosseum<\/strong><\/em>. Make sure to check ahead on the closing time of the Colosseum for your season of travel as you\u2019ll want to arrive an hour and a half to two hours prior to close. As for that all-important glass of wine, here are a few options near the Colosseum we recommend:<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.wineconcept.it\/en\/index.php\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Enoteca Wineconcept<\/a><\/strong> \u2013 an upscale wine bar featuring wines by the glass or bottle and gourmet small plates, the boutique features an impressive 4,000 bottles of wine and several natural wine options.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.tripadvisor.com\/Restaurant_Review-g187791-d1063520-Reviews-Al_Vino_al_Vino-Rome_Lazio.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Al Vino Al Vino<\/a><\/strong> \u2013 an unpretentious, intimate neighborhood wine bar in the heart of Monti.

The lines are dramatically shorter in the hours before closing and the crowds inside are fewer as well.<\/p>\n<p>As the sun moves toward the horizon, explore the ins and outs of this renowned, brutal and incredible amphitheater. Constructed in 72 A.D., the architectural detail is remarkable and the history overwhelming. Known at the time as the Flavian Amphitheater the Colosseum remains the largest amphitheater ever constructed. It was opened in 80 A.D. by Emperor Vespasian\u2019s son Titus for gladiatorial combats and wild animal fights and it remained active for four centuries.<\/p>\n<p>As the crowds dwindle, you\u2019ll be able to move freely throughout catching the shadows cast by the setting sun. Each vantage point offers impressive and thought-provoking perspectives, and it\u2019s the perfect way to end your first full day in Rome.<\/p>\n<p>Finally, as you return to your hotel for a much-needed night\u2019s rest, walk past <strong>The Forum<\/strong> and up <strong>Capitoline Hill<\/strong> as the lights come on and the skies darken. The view of the Forum from atop the hill is a must-see, especially at night. The ruins are eerily empty and quiet, and standing above what was once the very center of civilization is nothing short of awe-inspiring.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_4165\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-4165\" style=\"width: 300px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.winetraveler.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/roman-vatican-italy-things-to-do-in-rome-winetraveler.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-4165 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.winetraveler.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/roman-vatican-italy-things-to-do-in-rome-winetraveler-e1652801562803.jpg\" alt=\"What To Do in Rome - Visit The Vatican City | Winetraveler.com\" width=\"300\" height=\"400\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.winetraveler.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/roman-vatican-italy-things-to-do-in-rome-winetraveler-e1652801562803.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.winetraveler.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/roman-vatican-italy-things-to-do-in-rome-winetraveler-e1652801562803-225x300.jpg 225w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-4165\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">The road leading to St. Peter&#8217;s Basilica captured in the early evening during July.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h2><strong><a name=\"day2\"><\/a>Day 2 <\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Now that you&#8217;ve adjusted to the local time zone, you\u2019re ready for a full day in the Eternal City and it begins in Vatican City.

You will be briskly (and often brusquely) moved through the chapel where the no photography rule is strictly enforced at which point if you want to visit St. Peter\u2019s Basilica you will need to exit, queue for the Basilica again outside, and pass through security once more.

It\u2019s a remarkably walkable city, just use caution crossing the constantly busy streets (unless it\u2019s August and most Romans are on holiday). Vatican City is across the Tiber River from central Rome, so cross back over and pick your direction. You can head northeast toward the Piazza del Popolo for lunch, the <a href=\"http:\/\/galleriaborghese.beniculturali.it\/it\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Borghese Gallery<\/a> for more art, or the Borghese Gardens for a stroll through the lushly landscaped park.<\/p>\n<p>Or if you\u2019re ready to simply slow down, meander from one piazza to the next, drinking wine and observing Roman life, follow our suggestions due east toward the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/maps\/place\/Piazza+Navona\/@41.8989716,12.4598992,15z\/data=!4m5!3m4!1s0x0:0xa35724562e82334a!8m2!3d41.8991633!4d12.4730742\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Piazza Navona<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Piazza Navona is a picturesque Roman piazza surrounded by colorful Baroque architecture and featuring three delightful fountains: the <strong>Fontana dei Quattro Fiumi, the Fontana del Moro<\/strong> and the <strong>Fontana del Nettuno<\/strong>. Street artists, tourists, peddlers and perhaps even a few locals fill the piazza and the cafes lining the perimeter are perfect for grabbing a glass of wine and people watching.<\/p>\n<p>However, if after sitting fountain-side and wandering the piazza, you\u2019re ready for both food and drink, we recommend visiting either <strong>Tre Scalini<\/strong> or our favorite, <strong>Enoteca Il Goccetto<\/strong>. <a href=\"http:\/\/www.trescalini.it\/en\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Tre Scalini<\/a> is a an upscale, yet comfortable restaurant and caf\u00e9 in the heart of Piazza Navona.

Dine inside with small plates and a glass of wine or take your glass to the steps outside for people watching.

Shutters are raised and doors opened to reveal a plethora of enotecas and taverns. Wander the narrow streets and visit the small squares, you won\u2019t lack options, and get a taste of the authentic Roman essence. Alternatively, return to the <strong>Campo de\u2019 Fiori<\/strong> and join the Romans spilling into the square with wine and beer from the many taverns and eateries.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_4164\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-4164\" style=\"width: 500px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.winetraveler.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/roman-forum-aerial-view-winetraveler.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-4164\" src=\"https:\/\/www.winetraveler.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/roman-forum-aerial-view-winetraveler.jpg\" alt=\"Best Things To Do in Rome Italy | Winetraveler.com\" width=\"500\" height=\"375\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.winetraveler.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/roman-forum-aerial-view-winetraveler.jpg 500w, https:\/\/www.winetraveler.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/roman-forum-aerial-view-winetraveler-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.winetraveler.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/roman-forum-aerial-view-winetraveler-310x233.jpg 310w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-4164\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">An aerial perspective of the Roman Forum in its current condition we captured last year.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h2><strong><a name=\"day3\"><\/a>Day 3<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>For day three in Rome, we recommend more exploration of the sights and savoring la dolce vita. Begin your day with a <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.getyourguide.com\/colosseum-l2619\/rome-colosseum-roman-forum-palatine-hill-entry-tickets-t127592\/?partner_id=VUS1EVA&amp;utm_medium=online_publisher&amp;placement=content-middle&amp;cmp=3-day-rome-itinerary\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">tour of the Roman Forum<\/a><\/strong>, first used as an Etruscan burial ground in the 7<sup>th<\/sup> century B.C. and then the social, political and commercial center for the Roman Empire.<\/p>\n<p>If you have the time, an inside tour of the grounds will impress, but if you prefer to hit the pavement and see as much of Rome as possible, return to Capitoline Hill for a top-down view of the Forum. Notice the drastic contrast from your previous nighttime visit before setting off toward Piazza Venezia, the Colonna Traiana and the Mercati di Traiano. \u00a0<\/p>\n<p>As you head toward the Mercati di Traiano, a mass complex of ruins and Imperial museums, you\u2019ll see the very center of Rome, the <strong>Piazza Venezia<\/strong>. Located at the intersection of the Via dei Fiori Imperiali and the Via del Corso, Piazza Venezia is a sunny square featuring the monument of King Vittorio Emmanuele II.<\/p>\n<p>Next you\u2019ll pass the Colonna Traiano, or Trajan\u2019s Column, commemorating the Roman Emperor Trajan\u2019s victory in the Dacian War. Completed in 113 A.D. the impressive column features 155 scenes depicting the emperor\u2019s victory all carved in a spiral frieze.<\/p>\n<p>The last stop before lunch is the <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.mercatiditraiano.it\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Mercati di Traiano<\/a><\/strong>, or Trajan\u2019s Market. This complex series of ancient ruins is also home to the Imperial Forum Museum. Featuring red brick and concrete the Market once had six levels and up to 150 different shops and apartments.

The no-frills historic wine bar offers a wide selection of delicious Italian wine and is a fabulous place to huddle outside with a glass. Although they don\u2019t offer food, you can bring your own from a nearby bakery, pizzeria or deli.<\/p>\n<p>After a good session of people watching, drinking wine and savoring the Italian lifestyle, it\u2019s time to visit the <strong>Largo di Torre Argentina<\/strong>, an open-air square dating back to the 3rd century B.C. and 4<sup>th<\/sup> century A.D. The square features four temples and the base of the former Curia Pompeia.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><em><strong>Worth Noting:<\/strong> The Curia was located at the entrance of the Theater of Pompey where Julius Caesar was assassinated by Roman senators.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>If you prefer to settle in for lunch, we recommend a stop at <a href=\"http:\/\/www.casableve.com\/en\/home_en\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Casa Bleve<\/a>, an upscale wine bar and restaurant in the courtyard of a 16<sup>th<\/sup> century palazzo. The area, once known for noblemen\u2019s houses is halfway between the Pantheon and Piazza Navona, and you can view the remains of an ancient Roman wall in the cellars of the restaurant. Although on the pricey end, the food is delectable and the wines impressive. Make sure to stop at the Pantheon on your way. It\u2019s one of the most replicated architectural designs in history, featuring a portico with free-standing columns and a domed rotunda. The origins and purpose of the Pantheon are debatable, but the profound influence of its architecture is not.<\/p>\n<p>As evening settles in, make your way to the <strong>Spanish Steps<\/strong> and <strong>Via Condotti<\/strong>. Via Condotti is a fashionable street and pedestrian thoroughfare. Each evening tourists and Romans alike fill the streets for passeggiata. It is an energetic, lively atmosphere that is a must on your first trip to Rome. Via Condotti begins at the base of the Spanish Steps, which is also a must-see. Since the time of their construction in the 1700s, the 135 Spanish Steps have attracted artists, poets, and writers and serve as a public gathering place. Plan to begin or end your time here, just grab a seat, observe and absorb.<\/p>\n<p>As for dinner, walk through the neighborhood and find something to your tastes. While we can make recommendations, we certainly haven\u2019t explored all the options and recommend you make your own discovery. That said, we do recommend you stop in <strong><a href=\"http:\/\/caffegreco.shop\/index.php\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Antico Caff\u00e8 Greco<\/a><\/strong>, the oldest coffee bar in Rome once frequented by Casanova, Goethe, Lord Byron and Keats.

While it is one of the utmost touristy things to do in this fascinating city, it\u2019s one I return to every time I visit, if for nothing other than the assurance of a return trip!<\/p>\n<p>The visually arresting Baroque-style fountain is simply stunning as darkness sets in and the lights illuminate the flowing water and stone fa\u00e7ade. Take a few moments before pushing your way through the crowd toward the fountain to reflect on the vast amount of sights and steps, and the grandiosity of history, you have covered in three short days. Then grab your coin, push your way through to the front of the fountain, hold the coin in your right hand with your back to the fountain and toss it in over your left shoulder. You are now ensured a return trip to this eternal city.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><strong>RELATED: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.winetraveler.com\/travel-resources\/how-to-get-cheap-flight-tickets-11-ways\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">How To Get Cheaper Flight Tickets: 11 Proven Methods<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h3><strong>When in Rome<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Rome is a romantic, brutal and chaotic city with a complicated history, deep soul and enticing atmosphere.
