Planning a quick adventure through Rome? This episode opens with a short mini-history of Rome to set the scene, then jumps into a practical one-day route you can walk from Roma Termini. If you want to skip straight to logistics, the itinerary starts at 04:21 in the video.

The One-Day ITINERARY

Colosseum – Sunrise walk and first look at the photogenic arena.

Trevi Fountain – Toss a coin, take a photo, and try to beat the crowds if you can.

Spanish Steps – People-watch right next to the Keats-Shelley House next door.

Pantheon – Stand under the oculus of the world’s largest unreinforced concrete dome.

Dinner near Roma Termini, then a final gelato to finish off the exciting day.

Getting There Fast

From Fiumicino (FCO), hop onto the Leonardo Express non-stop train to Roma Termini, which is just under 30 minutes. It’s the simplest way to land in the middle of the city and start branching out.

Quick Tips

Book in advance for a tour inside the Colosseum.

Trevi Fountain is best early morning or late evening. Avoid crowds and the heat.

Pantheon: the oculus is open and will allow rain to fall inside, but there are holes in the floor that let it drain out.

Booking your stay near Roma Termini keeps the whole day walkable.
