Trifter

First day

I think this first day has to be the heaviest, because it’s the start of the trip, everybody is anxious and no one is tired!.

The first day yo can go to the “Palatino”, “Foro Romano” and the “Coliseum”.  They all have the same ticket, so don’t go first to Coliseum.  Early at the morning go and enjoy the “Palatino”and “Foro Romano”, which it’s better to avoid the hot of the midday.  After resting a bit and having lunch, you can go to the shadows of the “Coliseum” and see that piece of history.   After that you can go to the Piazza Campidoglio (Michelangelo designed it) and contemplate the monument of Vittorio Emannuele. 

All these things are very close!, so you can do!.. Don’t miss any place, all I told, worth a visit

 
2nd Day

“The baths” (Le terme of Caracalla), the “Massimo circus”, the temples near the river, and the “Bocca della Verita” are very close.  I strongly recommend the baths… is simply spectacular, the grandiosity, you have the feeling of what was the scale of the Roman power and leisure. La Bocca is very tourist so It’s nice!.

After that you can go to “The Pantheon”, that it’s located in the heart of Rome.  It’s an espectacular temple, with an enormous hole in the “cupula”.  Free entrance

3rd day

“The church of jesus” has a drawn dome, it’s fake!  It’s a very beautiful Jesuitic church, so it worth a visit with all the golden paintings .

“Piazza della Repubblica” and the church of “Santa Maria Maggiore”are very close both of them.  Be careful with the pickpockets.  It’s very nice the road that climbs up to the piazza with charming shops and beautiful buildings.  The church “Santa Maria Maggiore” is very big, it’s amazing

 
4th Day

I recommend you going to the Vatican at the end (because of that porpouse of not to mix dates)  So, there you can walk the spectacular Vatican City.   “Vaticano” it is one of the European microstates and have a population of 900 inhabitants.  You must go to “San Pedro del Vaticano” where yo can see the huge church, work of a mixture of renassaince architects, the “pietá” (piety) of michelangelo, the thomb of Juan Pablo II and some original columns of the Constantine first Catholic church.  Right down the centre of the church and of the “baldachino” made by Bernini is buried the body of “San pedro”.  You must go up to the dome!

After San Pedro you should go to the Vatican Museums (Sistine Chapel and Raphael Stays).

The, you can visit some Baroque churches and city fontains.
 
 
You must visit Trevi Fountain, Piazza Navona, Piazza Spain and the Campo di Fiori. My advice is to see half the day or dusk, and again … all this to happen several times at night … .. walking at night it’s wonderful, but that’s up to you.
You have to go to the neighborhood of trastevere!. If you do not get cornered by place downtown Rome …. I encourage you to go trastevere. It’s relatively near, just a few meters across the River. If you can’t stay there, you can eat at trastevere! .. It’s very pretty, less tourists, cheaper and better food.

A zone that is good to go for dinner is the Piazza Navona. looking back of the high church in piazza navona.  A charming neighborhood similaral trastevere.
