Help me plan 3 days in Rome

[Girliefriendlikespuppies]

Going to Rome for the first time in September with 20yo dd and looking for ideas for must sees.

It’s a Monday to Friday trip and we’ve got a central hotel, will be seeing the obvious touristy things but wondered what else people recommend?

without having been my best advice is to buy a lonely planet guide! So of the info is online but they usually do a "2 or 3 days in the city" sort of suggestion and they split them into chapters by area of the city so it's easy to plan your trip. Rome Travel 2026 - Lonely Planet | Italy, Europe

Pre book the Vatican museums. You'll need your passports for entry to main sites (e.g. Colloseum).

Here are a few recent threads that may help : )

Watch Roman Holiday together. Do that. Enjoy. We did it about 12 years ago with our teens and it was brilliant.

Thanks for the tips! I remember needing passports for some of the Paris sights we did so that’s a good reminder thanks.

Im mostly looking forward to the Italian food 😋😂
