How to Visit Rome Day 4
In December 2021 we made a 5 days trip to Rome, the Italian capital. With this we had quite enough time to visit most of the main landmarks of Rome and got to do more than enough things to do in Rome.
In 5 days, we actually spent 4 nights there and had a total of 4 days of visiting as we needed one day to travel there. We arrived in the late afternoon the first day and left in the evening the last day. We stayed in the city center near Campo de’ Fiori which was perfect as we could reach everything walking. Vatican was up north 25min, Coliseum was south, 20min and so on.
This day, we will visit the garden of Rome and some historical part.
We tried making sense of this itinerary in order to avoid going back and forth. This guide is based mostly on how we did it with a few corrections to improve it.

How to Visit Rome Day 4
Campo di Fiori
Start by visiting Campo di Fiori and its flea market. It’s a nice market and there is a lot. Only downside, it’s a bit touristic and it feel likes there isn’t much Italian selling stuff on it.
Piazza Navona
Then head to our favourite square in Rome. It is one of the only squares in Rome that doesn’t have a road (so no cars in it!!!). Meaning it is quite nice to seat on a bench there and enjoy the view of the 3 magnificent fountains.
Later you can also visit the Sant’Agnese in Agone Chruch. The Breath-taking church in the center of the square.
Smaller streets
From there, just stroll around the smaller streets of the city. It took us a while to find those smaller streets but there are super nice. It is also great to get away from the main places and all the tourists. Our favourites streets were:
- Via dei Coronari
- Via di Monte Girodano
- Via del Governo Vecchio
There are located between Piazza Navona and the Tiber River. In them you can stop at a coffee shop and some boutiques.
Villa Borghese
Next head North toward people’s square and where you can find the Villa Borghese Garden, one of the nicest parts in Rome and a great place to take some fresh air.
Within the garden you can also find the Borghese Gallery and Museum showcasing paintings and sculptures as well as the Villa Medici if you are in for some historic visits.
End of Day 4
From there, it’s time to leave Rome and take the plane back home. If you have more time, you could go back a place you really liked in the previous day. We went back the Trojan forum and Colosseum 😊
