Things to Do in Rome: Tours, Tickets & Experiences
Rome's big two — the Colosseum and the Vatican Museums — run on timed entry and deep demand, and both are miserable to leave to chance. Everything else in the Eternal City rewards wandering, which is exactly why the two anchors are worth booking properly.
This guide covers Colosseum and Vatican booking, food tours through Trastevere and the markets, and day trips to Pompeii and the Amalfi Coast.
