Hi, all. This is somewhat of a continuation from a question I asked earlier. I'll be buying museum and other tickets this week for my visit during Holy Week in 2 months. I just wanted to get last minute feedback on the order of events. Does it look good or would you modify anything? 4/4 (Wed) Arrive in Rome in afternoon. Check in and walk around with gelato. 4/5 (Thursday) Vatican Museum and St. Peter's Basilica 4/6 (Friday) Borghese Gallery, siesta, Trevi Founain, Spanish Steps, gelato a couple of times. 4/7 (Saturday) Ancient Rome - Colosseum, Forum, Capitol Hill, Pantheon, gelato a couple of times. 4/8 (Easter Sunday) Easter Mass. I quite can't find out the logistics for doing this any advice? Leave Rome for Sicily. Thanks in advance. :)

Looks good except you don't mention gelato on Thursday! I'm suspecting, from what I've read here, that the Easter Sunday Mass, I'm assuming at the Vatican, will be outside? Not sure, but if so in that case won't need tickets, just a tolerance for crowds!

PS I just realized that the Ancient Rome day is pretty much all outdoors (except Pantheon), so might not want to wait till last day to do that, just in case. Guess that screws up the buying tickets in advance thing huh? You might be able to do some of that the day you arrive tho, I would suggest the Colosseum cuz you'll be tired but it will wake you up, plus you won't have to figure out which buildings are/were which like at the Forum, Capitol Hill.
