my rome itinerary

Posted by (New York) on

I will be in Rome for 4 nights, 1st week of November. Im curious if I'm packing way too much in to each day or if it is doable.

day 1 - I arrive in the afternoon and will be staying Trastevere. Relax and walk around the neighborhood, see the basilica and have dinner. easy. Maybe walk around Testaccio

day 2 - Baths of diocletion in morning and then walk around. See Trevi Fountain, Pantheon (can I take my chances and not buy advanced tickets?), I have 5 churches in that area I'd like to pop into, but its not that serious if I miss some. Piazza Navona. maybe fit in the Doria Pamhillij Gallery if possible. probably not. lol

day 3 - Castle Sant 'Angelo (do I need advanced tickets?), Palazzo Altemps, and maybe Doria Pamhilij if missed on day 2

day 4 - This is were I am really concerned. lol ... I want to see the Colosseum/Forum/Palintine Hill (will get tickets in advance), Domus Aurea (do I need advanced tickets?), Roman Houses at Celio, and the Sacred Steps.
I have dinner reservations at Roscioli at 7

So. are days 2 and 4 impossible?

It is definitely not too much, although it is a lot. Just be flexible and try not to rush around too much. Maybe prioritize each day so you have something you'd be OK saving for the next trip to Rome. Over the years I have learned that you never will see it all on any one trip so just be sure and enjoy the things you do see.

Thank you for the advice.
Curious, would you prioritize Palazzo Altemps or Doria Pamhilij?
The Roman Houses at Celia or Domus Aurea?
If I have to omit one from each day, I have to choose 1 between each group
