I consider 4 days in Rome the minimum amount of time to get to know the city. With over 2,500 years of history, Rome is famous among tourists. The capital of Italy has incredible monuments, still preserved from the time of the Roman Empire. Like the Coliseum, the city’s postcard. In this post, you will find a complete itinerary with hotels, transportation, and attractions of the city.

4 days in Rome: Travel Itinerary

Our idea was to enjoy 3 days in Rome and leave for Croatia on New Year’s Eve. But we ended up missing the flight. With the change of plans, we had our New Year’s Eve in Italy and enjoyed another day in the capital. In the end, it was the perfect time to explore the city and we also added a two-day visit to Venice.

In this post, you will find tips, prices, and everything you need to know to visit the Coliseum. For those who followed our 4-day trip through Rome, you know that we went in our first day to the Vatican. For our second day, we save a visit to one of Rome’s most emblematic monuments: the Coliseum.

ROME GUIDE: COLOSSEUM, PALATINE, AND ROMAN FORUM

As you would expect from the monument that makes up one of the 7 wonders of the modern world, the lines to enter were kilometers long. In December, when we took this tour, the Colosseum, Roman Forum, and Palatine closed at 16:30. Which left us a little desperate about spending our time in lines.

During the European winter, some attractions have their opening hours shortened. That’s why we chose to buy a guided tour right there near the Arch of Constantine. All guided tours have a different entrance than other visitors, which makes you skip the line. We negotiated the price and entered the Coliseum in less than half an hour.
