Rome in a Day - Do it Yourself tour 📸

- A great place to start is the Termini Station, which is easily accessible by Metro. I always book my hotel near Termini for its great flexibility to the Metro and trains throughout Italy and the Fiumicino Airport.
Head South West on via Cavour for less than 5 minutes for the first stop, the Basilica Santa Maria Maggiore - a 5th century church with gilded ceiling and majestic works of art. The basilica is the largest catholic church in Rome outside of the Vatican. Typically, a 15 minute stop should to the trick.
Continue South west along via Cavour, following the bend to the right, for about 15 minutes where you will intersect with via Dei Fori Imperiali, turn left towards the Coliseum. With your advanced ticket purchase, you’ll use the short line for pre-purchased tickets - this should take about 5 minutes. When entering the Coliseum, head upwards into the stadium. An hour should be ample time to explore and take photos.
When exiting the Coliseum, head south towards the Arch of Constantine then west up the roadway to the Forum. After entering the gates, the Arch of Titus is straight ahead - celebrating the 1st century victories of the Roman conquest of Jerusalem. Spending about an hour you can walk the grounds of the Forum and ascend the palatine hill for some great views of modern Rome.
From the center of the Forum, exit through the North East exit onto via dei Fori Imperiali and cross the street. Head north west along Trajan’s Forum and past Trajan’s column ending at the Alter of the Fatherland, also known as the Monumento Nazionale a Vittorio Emanuele II. This landmark was completed in 1925 in honor of Victor Emmanuel, the first king of a unified Italy.
Now head North on via dei Corso and follow the signs to the Trevi Fountain - there are several places here where you can get some food on the go.
Arriving at the Trevi Fountain, you’ll want to push your way through the crowds to get to the edge of the fountain for the obligatory coin toss over your shoulder - ensuring your future return to Rome. You’ll want to spend about 15 minutes here.
Heading west, follow the side streets to the Pantheon - generally, lines move quickly here and exploring the inside of the Pantheon will take about 20 minutes.
Continue westward towards Piazza Navona, following the signs. In Piazza Navona, there are several fountains and an Egyptian obelisk located in the center - cafes and restaurants surround the perimeter of the square, but be warned, the amazing atmosphere does significantly affect pricing.
Head westward along the winding streets lined with restaurants and then northward (keeping right) towards the Ponte Sant’Angelo. Cross the bridge over the Tiber to the Castel Sant’Angelo.
Keeping left, head West towards St. Peter’s Basilica and Vatican City. When entering the main square, keep to the right for the entrance into St. Peter’s. You’ll spend about 30-45 minutes in the Basilica where you’ll be overcome by the grandeur of the architecture and marvel in the incredible works of art, including the Pietà sculpture by Michelangelo.
Heading out of St. Peter’s, head towards the large obelisk in the center of the square and then turn left, or north, up the street, taking another left at the corner of the Wall to the Vatican. Here you will enter the Vatican Museums where you will see well know masterpieces from throughout the centuries, including works by Raphael and the Sistine Chapel paintings by Michelangelo. Although this museum is huge, you can march through it in about an hour and a half.
Heading East, a 25 minute walk back across the Tiber to the Piazza Popolo where you can climb the stairs to the Terrazza del Pincio for a great view of Rome at the edge of the Borghese gardens.
Head South East towards the Spanish Steps where there is plenty of luxury shopping and a great selection of restaurants for dinner. As the night turns darker, head south towards the Trevi Fountain for a completely different experience and an evening Gelato.

Yulia Sidorova ... Thank you 😁. Enjoy your trip.
I'm going g to Rome in March.
Indeed 🖒
But you do all this with a car rental??
Train?? Or how
I’m exhausted just by watching this. So many places in such a short time.
Wow! Ive been planning my Rome tour and this helps a lot. Cant believe that it can be done in a day. Thanks
I love that you added times to your video. This is very useful. Thanks!
Thank you for this amazing video!
amazing video! thank you. direct to the point with visuals, maps, and no fluff. Great great great
Great video !! Thanks for all the tipps 😍
Perfect. Thankyou 👍
Thank you for this fantastic information
I WAS SO CONFUSED BEFORE WATCHING THIS VIDEO REGARDING MY TRIP TO ROME AS THERE ARE SO MANY PLACE.. THIS IS THE BEST VIDEO THANKS ALOT!!!
Thank you. Enjoy your trip
the map idea is great! :D
This is really helpful, ESPECIALLY that you put it in TEXT so I can print it out. Thanks!
Thank you very much....this is just what I needed. Very informative and well explained content. I was getting tired of all the other videos of people talking and talking but never mentioning the important details for proper planning.
Planning to visit Rome this September and watching lots of videos..this video is the most helpful..thank you very much!
Visiting rome this july thanks for this wonderfull video. This will helo us a lot 👍😊
A lovely thought. Generally speaking, for those tourists who are happy to take a s elfie to prove they've been there I'd agree with your gestinates of time. But a short wait for per purchased tickets at the colosseum? Good luck! Took us over an hour to get in. Lines will always be long at the Vatican museums too, in winter after lunch is the shortest time, only about 10min. Do-able, but wouldn't advise it. If you only have a day in Rome choose EITHER colosseum OR the Vatican plus maybe 2 minor attractions.
Wonderful
Awesome
I just came back from a 2.5 day visit in Rome and it was not even close enough! We really needed a week.
روووووعه يا روما يا اروع بقاع الأرض واأصلها ايطاليا راااااائعه
Thanks man! Ill be in rome on april!
Great time to go. Enjoy your trip
😍😍😍😍
👍👌
Amazing!
1 day in Rome is WAYYYYYYY too short. It's like just getting a taste of icing on top. 1 week would be minimum.
Yes !1 day is way too short !! But a week ...will be a lot for Travellers on a budget !! Lol. I wish if I can ,but there are too many places & cities in Italy which are all must to visit !!! Lol. I really wish if I can go to Italy for a month !!And I know that is not even enough to see everything & really get all ! I think 3 days will be a good idea which I had done before ,but we went everywhere in Italy from Rome !! Lol.😅 But ,the next time in the near future ,I won't be able to visit Rome more than 1 or 2 days total !! But , I know exactly where I wanna go to & what I wanna do & don't ! So ,I'll be able to max the limit even if it's just for a day ,or two !!
Great video!! What time do establishments close if we’re starting our walk from 12nn until 8pm?
Rome in one day? Like say only a one minute of love in one day... Ciao
im coming ITALY this month
😘🇮🇹
super helpful especially the time estimates - the links to by tix dont work though
I'VE BEEN PLANNING MY TRIP TO ROME AND WATCHNG VIDEOS FOR SO LONG...THIS IS THE BEST VIDEO SO FAR but what type of ticket to purchase if i'm planning to go in the morning?
shanti kiran ... You won't need a ticket, but St. Peter's is a good stop in the morning
Trust me I’m a guy from Rome if you want to see the sunrise over Rome go to Via Nicolò Piccolomini or Piazzale Socrate
For the sunset, I recommend Terrazza del Pincio or Casina delle Muse (better but it’s not in the center of the city, it’s in the neighborhood Parioli)
Impossible to do that
The LANE to visit Colosseum is minimum of 1 hour
3 days for Rome is minimum to see only most important things of Rome
One day. We will build another Rome and build it in a day.
Mm in un giorno non ce la fai ce tanta strada da fare e tante cose da vedere e da mangiare😃
Explore Golgumbaz, Bijapur, South India 🇮🇳
Almost forgot can't throw coins in the fountain any more.
Hi.. Nice Video. I am visiting f Rome in last week of November. I have heard there would less tourists at that time as it's lil cold. Do u think I should still buy tickets of attractions in advance. As I was wondering if there wouldn't be many tourists so I can buy tickets from counter only. What do u say..?? I have around 2.5 days in Rome.
Even though there will be fewer visitors, you'll still want to pre-book as there are still cruise ships and tours visiting at that time and you'd hate to spend your time in queues. Also, when there are fewer tourists, the local schools will go on field trips and can take up ticket availability.
imagiscope travel Thank you. I'll keep this thing in mind. I'll check out what all are attractions that require tickets, what are of my interest and get booked accordingly.
You forgot to tell that there's no way you'll get that fast into the St. Peter's basilica. The rows are insanely long. No entrance tickets are required.
Right. I've found that early morning or later in the afternoon are the best times (when the cruise ship and tour visitors are fewer).
Hi. Loved' your video. What is the best way to go around the city using your guide? Do we do Hop on Hop off bus? Taxi? Or train? to go from one location to another (other than walking around, if they are kinda far from each other)
We went the longer distances by metro but you will still need to walk quite a bit. We've tried the hop on/off buses and they will provide better "door-to-door" service. In Rome, we've found no need for taxis. You can walk the three "zones"; 1) forum/coliseum area, 2) Trevi/Pantheon/Spanish Steps, 3) Vatican. Local buses are also available.
@@imagiscope so we can walk from the Vatican to the Trevi Fountain area? Is the Trevi close to the Piazza Navona?
@Travel Mommy you can walk from the Vatican to Trevi but it's a long walk (30-45 mins). The quicker way from Vatican, take metro from ottoviano to spanga station (Spanish steps) then walk to Trevi. Piazza navona is about 15 minute walk from Trevi. It's a nice walk past the pantheon.
imagiscope travel thanks so much!!!
This is the most helpful video, you have mentioned pre-purchased tickets, what kind of tickets are these and where can we buy them , I have heard about the omiani pass, any suggestions please, I plan to visit Rome next year and want to avoid big line ups!
The links for purchasing tickets are at the bottom of the description. We purchased individual tickets as the total cost was less than a city pass.
No way in that heat. You need several days to see Rome...even then wouldn’t see it all.
Money save tips
I'm coming to Rome in March. How is the weather at that time?
snowing -torrentual rains and tusunamis!!ENJOY!!!!!
Damn really?
@@jayson1geek479 It's a good time.
How much did u pay for the coliseum tickets and what website did you use
Cost of ticket is €14, I used www.coopculture.it/en/colosseo-e-shop.cfm (in description)
I've been enjoying watching this. We film 4k walks in cities too, and it's lovely to discover how we can share and learn so much from each other through channels such as this, thank you for taking the time to add it. It's been a while since I visited and it's interested me to feel like I'm back there. Perhaps we could subscribe to each other and look forward to sharing more content?
This is a great video! Can you recommend a hotel in Termini?
My last trip we stayed at the Hotel Tito. It was inexpensive (about $100USD) and clean with a great location (found some great restaurants nearby). It is a small boutique hotel (no visible signage from the street, requires being buzzed in to enter the building). Rooms are small with closet, desk, large TV and bathroom (toilet, sink, shower). We stayed only months after it was renovated (built, its relatively new). Not exactly like the photos on their website, but pretty close. There are only about 10-20 rooms, so space can be limited if booking. Try several websites to book as rooms are not always available from one site to another (booking.com, expedia.com). Also, stayed at Welcome Piram Hotel - bigger rooms, older, more expensive...nice, though. We stayed at Hotel Aphrodite a few years ago - rooms were nice, modern and clean.
Just about the worst, most dangerous and dirty places to book a hotel in downtown Rome.
did you walk this trip ?
Yes but you can take metro or taxi for some of the longer distances
Dont get scammed or steal
Roma in un giorno? Ma che cazzo stai a dì
This is no way to enjoy Rome.
why?
@@AaronDoesIt ....Well,...have you ever seen a hotdog eating contest,.....eat as many as you can in a limited time?..........Do you think they're enjoying that experience?
@@johnsain But if you only have a day in Rome then what else do you suggest?
