Day 1: Rome
Arrive in Rome and orient yourself around the historic center; best first impression comes from noticing how ancient ruins and modern life overlap block by block., Visit the Colosseum; book an early entry time to avoid peak heat and crowds in summer., Walk to Il gelato di Costanza for lunch; a cool gelato stop works surprisingly well as a light summer midday break., Join Rome Live Tours; a guided walk helps connect major sights with stories you would miss on your own., Head to Gelateria Artigianale Il Capriccio di Carla for dinner; go later in the evening when the city feels calmer and temperatures drop.
