Rome Travel Guide: Flights & Hotels
Italy · FCO
Rome layers three thousand years of history into one walkable city — the Colosseum, the Roman Forum, and the Vatican are all within a compact core. Summer heat and crowds are intense, so many travelers prefer shoulder seasons.
April, May, September, and October balance good weather with manageable crowds at major sites. Book Colosseum and Vatican Museum tickets online in advance to skip hours-long lines.
