Rome, Italy

Italy’s capital city is a treasure trove of ancient history. The Roman Forum, which served as the center of ancient Rome, is a good spot to begin. From here, you’re just a short walk from the Colosseum, the Pantheon, and Circo Massimo, a crumbling stone-and-marble arena that hosted chariot races in ancient times. Hop on Rome’s easy-to-use subway system to explore attractions outside of the ancient city center, such as the Spanish Steps or the Vatican Museums, which house priceless works by Fra Angelico, Raphael, and Caravaggio. 

• The Vatican: You could spend a whole day touring the Vatican, which occupies the world’s smallest sovereign city-state. The showstopper is the Sistine Chapel ceiling, nearly every inch of which is decorated with Michelangelo’s astounding frescoes.
• Trevi Fountain: This Baroque fountain, built in the 18th century, includes friezes of Neptune and his chariot. Visit after dark, when lights illuminate the intricate façade, and be sure to toss a coin over your shoulder into the fountain—legend has it that doing so will guarantee a return trip to Rome.
• See celebrated sculptures and famous paintings at the Borghese Gallery, where works by Bernini, Titian, and Caravaggio fill room after opulent room.
• Rent a scooter if you dare! Roman traffic is famously fast and dicey, but a Vespa from one of the many scooter-rental stands is a must for seeing the city like a local.
• Take a bite out of a trapizzino, a pizza pocket filled on the spot with your choice of cheeses, meats, and vegetables.
