Rome in One Day – The Best Rome 1-Day Itinerary (By A Local!)

In this story I have included all my insider tips as a local, to make sure you have the best time in Rome.

Of all the things to do in Rome in one day, seeing the Colosseum and the Roman Forum have to be top of your Italy bucket list.

1-DAY START AT THE COLOSSEUM AND ROMAN FORUM

Take a moment to admire the impressive dome – it’s still to this day the world’s largest unreinforced concrete dome! No entrance fee required.

PANTHEON

It’s an easy eight-minute walk from the Pantheon to the iconic fountain, which will no doubt be busy with visitors, but is nonetheless atmospheric and impressive to see.

TREVI FOUNTAIN

It’s one of the most famous piazzas in the city, taking its name from the Spanish embassy which is still located in the square.

PIAZZA DI SPAGNA AND TRINITÀ DEI MONTI

Otherwise known as Pincian Terrace, your one day in Rome itinerary wouldn’t be complete without an awesome view over the Roman skyline.

TERRAZZA DEL PINCIO

You’ll get here by late afternoon, and this might be the perfect place to stop for a bite to eat, or just rest your feet for a while, and grab a coffee.

PIAZZA DEL POPOLO

It’s a pretty cool walk, as you’ll walk along Tiber River and get to cross over Ponte Sant’Angelo with its many angelic statues.

CASTEL SANT’ANGELO
