Give each day a clear centre

  1. The Spanish Steps

    The Keats–Shelley House gives a literary focus to this part of Rome. Confirm opening details before planning the visit.

  2. The historic centre

    Group the Pantheon, Piazza Navona and nearby streets into a separate walking day.

  3. Your hotel base

    Compare a historic-centre stay with a Via Nazionale base for transport connections. The best choice depends on your itinerary.
