Five days that hit Rome's three unmissables — the Colosseum, the Vatican, and the historic center — then slow down where Romans actually live: Monti wine bars, Testaccio's market, the Aventine keyhole, and a Gianicolo sunset. Every big sight here is timed-entry and book-ahead (windows noted per stop); every restaurant was verified against current reviews. Budget covers sights, airport trains, and the listed meals. Avoid mid-August: many family trattorie close for ferragosto and the heat is brutal.

How we check
Anything with a kitchen or a ticket gate is verified individually: the official site where one exists, plus recent traveler reviews. Public squares, parks and viewpoints get an existence check. A venue we can’t confirm is flagged below rather than quietly kept, and the whole itinerary is re-checked on a cadence — past 12 months without one, the checked claim is dropped and the date above stops being a promise.
