Planning your trip to Rome
Best time to visit
Late April to early June and September to October bring warm days without the heaviest summer crowds or heat. July and August are hot and busy with tourists; December has mild weather and fewer lines at major sights, but shorter days.
How many days you need
Three to four days covers the historic center, the Vatican and a couple of neighborhoods at an unhurried pace. Add a day for a side trip to Pompeii or the Amalfi Coast if time allows.
Getting around
The historic center is compact and mostly walkable. The metro is limited (only two main lines cross downtown) but useful for longer hops; buses and trams fill the gaps. Taxis and rideshares are easy for late nights or luggage.
What to skip
Restaurants with picture-menus and touts standing outside them right by the major sights are aimed at one-time visitors, not good food. Walking a few blocks away from the busiest piazzas usually finds better, cheaper meals.
