They say Rome didn’t fall in a day; but they also say, “when in Rome, do as the Romans do.” Well, today’s Romans knock back their morning caffe with carb-laden pastries or maritozzo and hit the ground running. Just find
luggage storage in Rome
with Stasher, and with our help, you can conquer the city in just 12 hours!Millennia-old castles, basilicas, sculptures, and fountains abound in the Eternal City, making even mundane errands a journey back in time. Keep an eye out for these:
- Public squares: Piazza Navona, Piazza Venezia, and Piazza del Popolo are great places to grab a bite or something to drink and people-watch
- Historic landmarks: the Roman Ghetto, Pantheon, Trevi Fountain, Spanish Steps, Medici House
- Religious houses: Synagogue of Rome, Basilica di Santa Cecilia in Trastevere, and the Basilica di San Clemente (built over a Pagan temple)
Of course, the two must-see attractions are the ones that take the longest, and you’ve probably already guessed them: the Vatican and the ruins of Ancient Rome. Either one is a short metro ride from
Roma Termini station
; start your day at one and work your way to the other on foot.Budget 2-3 hours for the Colosseum, Roman Forum and Palatine Hill – one €16 ticket gets you into all 3. The guided Vatican tour is 3 hours long, but entry to St. Peter’s Basilica itself is free, and you can avoid the crowds if you get there around 8-9 am. End your day with an aperitivo around sunset, or keep the party going at an all-night dance club before catching your flight back home.
