You know how it is; you never actually take a real vacation in your hometown. It&#8217;s hard to believe, but until my recent staycation, I hadn&#8217;t been inside the Coliseum in over 30 years, and my last Vatican Museum visit was in 1999.

Enjoying one of my favorite cities with my family gave me a new perspective on the city and made for one of our best family vacations ever!<\/p>\n<h2>Rome Sightseeing Tips<\/h2>\n<p>There is so much to see in Rome, which is why we encourage our guests to plan in advance and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.italyperfect.com\/blog\/rome-sites-book-ahead.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">book the most popular sites ahead<\/a>. I got busy in early November by taking my own advice to plan activities and pre-book museums tickets well in advance. Here are my top Rome sightseeing tips:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Do only one \u201cbig\u201d activity per day. For example, don\u2019t try to see the Vatican and the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.italyperfect.com\/blog\/roman-colosseum-essential-info.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Coliseum in one day<\/a>.<\/li>\n<li>Schedule ample time for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.italyperfect.com\/blog\/rome-pasta-favorite-cacio-e-pepe.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">great meals<\/a> and book popular restaurants ahead. They are not necessarily full, but you can\u2019t always rely on what days they will be open. For example, we had to make two trips to a favorite out-of-the-way restaurant not realizing it was closed on Sundays.<\/li>\n<li>Factor in enough down time. The lazy time turned out to be one of the best bonuses of the trip. With my kids now in their 20s, they have other pursuits. So, just spending time together as a family was a real treat, not just for sightseeing, but with ample casual time to relax in the apartment, too.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<div id=\"attachment_60318\" style=\"width: 1690px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-60318\" class=\"wp-image-60318 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.italyperfect.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/Italy-Perfect-Expert-Shares-Rome-Sightseeing-Tips-by-Italy-Perfect5.jpg\" alt=\"Italy Perfect Expert Shares Rome Sightseeing Tips by Italy Perfect Piazza del Popolo \" width=\"1680\" height=\"1058\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.italyperfect.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/Italy-Perfect-Expert-Shares-Rome-Sightseeing-Tips-by-Italy-Perfect5.jpg 1680w, https:\/\/www.italyperfect.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/Italy-Perfect-Expert-Shares-Rome-Sightseeing-Tips-by-Italy-Perfect5-300x189.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.italyperfect.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/Italy-Perfect-Expert-Shares-Rome-Sightseeing-Tips-by-Italy-Perfect5-1024x645.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.italyperfect.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/Italy-Perfect-Expert-Shares-Rome-Sightseeing-Tips-by-Italy-Perfect5-768x484.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.italyperfect.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/Italy-Perfect-Expert-Shares-Rome-Sightseeing-Tips-by-Italy-Perfect5-1536x967.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1680px) 100vw, 1680px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-60318\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><em>Piazza del Popolo is one of Rome&#8217;s most picturesque squares.<\/em><\/p><\/div>\n<ul>\n<li>Some of the less structured activities were our favorites, like hanging out in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.italyperfect.com\/blog\/romes-stately-piazza-del-popolo.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Piazza del Popolo<\/a> watching the bubble guy and listening to singers (we lost count of how many times we heard the same performer sing a popular Ed Sheeran song), long walks in the <a href=\"https:\/\/galleriaborghese.beniculturali.it\/en\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Borghese Gardens<\/a> away from the crowds, impromptu take-out pizza back at the Flaminio apartment which was our home base and laughing together at crazy Italian TV game shows, with me translating for the family.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Since so many of our guests ask for advice on how to tackle Rome, here&#8217;s a recap of the itinerary for my own Rome vacation, which relies heavily on our tried-and-true recommendations that you can find in our blog.

I&#8217;ve gotten to know some of the waiters who welcome me back like a long lost cousin. After lunch, the <a href=\"https:\/\/welcometo-rome.it\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Welcome to Rome<\/a> 3-D movie animation is just around the corner. It&#8217;s a great overview of how ancient Rome once looked and a good briefing in advance of next day\u2019s agenda.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Day 2:<\/strong> Visit the Coliseum and Roman Forum. We split it up with the Coliseum in the morning, a nice lunch nearby and then back to the Forum in the afternoon. My son, a Roman history buff, wished he&#8217;d had more time in the Forum.

That would have been more relaxing then being crammed like sardines and standing for 40 minutes on the local Naples to Pompeii train. We could have easily spent one more day exploring Pompeii; there was so much to see. It was a long day, but totally worth it.<\/p>\n<p>It was a fantastic family vacation, and the whole family can&#8217;t wait to go back!
