How to see the sights of Rome in a day




On one trip to Rome I only had about an afternoon to see the famous sights of the city. If you're not into waiting in long lines or walking around Rome for hours, I suggest you see Rome by car. You can drive by most of these places and park near the rest.
1. St. Peter's square
2. Spanish steps
3. Piazza del Popolo
4. Pantheon
We had bad luck because it was closed when we got there, but we walked along the left side of it and saw an obelisk by Bernini called Elephant and Obelisk.
5. Capitoline hill
6. Keyhole from the knights of Malta's garden
7. Orange garden on the Aventine hill (more info here)
8. Colosseum
There is restoration work going on, so it might not appear in all its glory.
9. Piazza Navona
Here you can stop and eat ice cream and admire Bernini's Fountain of Four Rivers.

In the end, you can rest at a pizzeria and enjoy a slice of pizza :)
