Rome in 3 days: build a realistic first-trip itinerary

Three hotel nights do not always give you three sightseeing days.

Start with your actual accommodation quote, including mandatory charges shown in the booking.

Put your first activity for each day on a map and compare the journey from each accommodation shortlist.

List airport travel, journeys from accommodation and any movement between sightseeing areas.

Read what your selected admission includes and when you can use it.

Decide whether this is primarily a museum day or time exploring the surrounding area.

Consider normal walking tolerance, meals and breaks.

Mark confirmed admissions separately from outdoor ideas.

Put flights, accommodation and intercity journeys on one timeline.

Check usable days, starting locations and fixed bookings before adding attractions.
