Rome in 4 Days: Day-by-Day Itinerary with Budget and Pompeii Day Trip (Printable + iPad)
Rome packs three thousand years into one city, and four days can vanish into ticket lines and tourist-trap lunches without a plan. This one does the timing, the booking and the budgeting for you.
This 29-page printable guide gives you 4 days and 3 nights in Rome, planned from breakfast to dinner, with the price of every stop in euros and a realistic budget. Admission fees and fares were checked in September 2026, including the changes made this year (the new Pantheon fee, the Trevi Fountain entry charge and the new transit fares).
