DAY 1 — ANCIENT ROME

Start at the Colosseum before moving through the Forum and Palatine Hill, then continue towards central Rome and finish around the Aventine.

The guide separates free sights from ticketed attractions and gives you a practical walking order rather than a long list of landmarks. ITATLY

DAY 2 — THE PIAZZAS

Start early at Trevi before the crowds, then work through the Spanish Steps, Villa Borghese, Pantheon, Piazza Navona and the historic centre.

This is a high-walking day, so the route is designed to reduce unnecessary backtracking. ITATLY

Visit the Vatican Museums and St Peter’s before crossing towards Castel Sant’Angelo and finishing the trip in Trastevere. ITATLY
