Bonsoir,
votre programme de visites dépendra de ce qui vous intéresse le plus: Rome antique et les sites archéologiques, les musées, les églises, les ballades dans les quartiers les plus typiques...
vous pouvez d'ailleurs faire un mélange en alternant visites de sites/musées et ballades en fin pm ou le soir après diner pour rentrer à votre hébergement.
Dans le moindre guide sur Rome vous avez souvent des idées d'itinéraires, si jamais vous n'en n'avez pas.
Perso je conseille d'avoir un plan sous la main, la plupart des guides en ont un à l'intérieur, faites une croix sur sites/musées/monuments qui vous intéresse, regroupez les par quartiers et votre programme est fait.
si vous ètes musées vous pouvez prendre en considération d'acheter des roma pass, voir sur le site www.romapass.it ce que cela vous offre, et si vous les amortirez selon vos visites.
Utilisez aussi le moteur de recherche en haut à droite pour vous aider (entre autre nombreux posts sur roma pass ) et sur les musées à réserver avant départ, comme Galleria Borghese, musées du Vatican. Pas de chance vous partez le 1er dimanche de juillet, jour où les musées sont gratuits!
consultez le maximum de posts, sur ce forum et d'autres avant de partir; le net est très riche en infos!

ça dépend à quelle heure part l'avion le 3 juillet... 😛
Si c'est l'après-midi ou mieux, le soir, il y a toujours moyen d'aller voir un musée pas trop compliqué d'accès et pas sur-fréquenté (on oublie le Colisée et le forum pour préférer le musée national étrusque par exemple). Le musée national romain est également une bonne option, puisque deux sites sont juste en face de la gare de Termini (les thermes de Dioclétien et le palazzo Massimo).
Pour le reste, il faut impérativement préciser ce qui t'intéresse le plus, Rome est à l'évidence une ville très riche en histoire et en patrimoine.
Hormis les classiques, parmi les idées plus ou moins originales, j'ai pour ma part bien apprécié le quartier Coppédè ou encore Garbatella et la centrale Montemartini. 🙂

Bonjour,
Ne visitant que peu de musées, en effet pas très intéressant les pass; par contre pour éviter les files d'attente aux guichets du Colisée, il vous faudra y ètre avant 9h, et le mieux se présenter à l'entrée du Forum Romain, via dei Fori Imperiali , faire la visite du Forum et dans l'enfilade celle du Palatin, puis le Colisée en se présentant entrée réservée et non aux guichets
Pour la G. Borghese la résa est tjs obligatoire
Pour ce qui est des marchés, il y en a un , maintenant vraiment très touristique, en plein centre, celui de Campo dei Fiori (très peu d'étales de fruits/légumes, mais plus de produits commerçants), sinon celui du Trionfale, à -10' de l'entrée des musées du Vatican, via Andrea Doria ou celui à 10' à pied de la gare Termini, près de la place Vittorio, dans le quartier très etnique de la ville.
Sinon des coins sympas on en trouve mème dans le centre, suffit de prendre les ruelles autour de la place Navona, Campo dei Fiori pour trouver des endroits caractéristiques, comme l'Arco degli Acetari, que l'on trouve en prenant la via del Pellegrino..
Bonne découverte de Rome!

Belle destination que Rome! 6 jours ça te laisse vraiment le temps de voir plein de choses!
Pense à réserver, notamment la villa Borghese. Pour notre part, nous avions visité les incontournables : colisée, mont palatin, vatican et ses musées, palais maxime, thermes de dioclétien. Nous avions également été voir le MAXXII (musée d'Art moderne). Sans parler des places, quartiers, fontaines... il y a tant de choses à voir!!
Si tu veux plus d'infos tu peux faire un tour sur mon blog, j'y détaille nos visites!
Attention, que la visite du Palatin doit se faire juste avant ou après la visite du Forum, par le passage intérieur, sinon on vous fait repayer le billet; en fait c'est comme visiter un seul site,
Par contre le billet pour le Colisée/Forum/Paltin est valable 2 jours, vous pouvez donc visiter le Colisée 1 jour et le lendemain le Forum/Palatin, mais pas 2 j après votre billet ne serait alors plus valable.
Après la visite de la Galleria Borghese qui dure maximum 2h vous pouvez traverser le parc et aller visiter la Galleria d'art moderne ou bien le très intéressant musée étrusque de Villa Giulia à 20' de marche de la G. Borghese.
sinon retour dans le centre et visite de la villa Medici, Académie de France à Rome, visites guidées du mardi au dimanche voir sur le site de la villa pour + infos et visite des nombreuses églises du centre, en commençant par laTrinité des Monts, en haut de la place d'Espagne
Pour trouver moins de monde dans les musées vous pourriez y aller le samedi en début pm, souvent mème pas de file d'attente... mais bon à vous de voir si réserver ou non...

Pour le Vatican tu inclus les musées ou pas ? Sinon c'est "juste" la place et la basilique, tout dépend du monde qu'il y a à l'entrée. Nous avons passé 1h30 dans la basilique mais on aime bien admirer les détails 😛
Pour les transports euh... certains diront que c'est super, mais pour avoir logé trois fois hors du centre de Rome, et pour vivre en région parisienne où les transports sont certes défaillants mais au moins existants, je te dirais que ceux de Rome sont clairement insuffisants (métro, tram et bis bondés) et peu transparents (on ne sait pas quand le bus passe, combien de temps il met, etc).
Tout dépendra aussi d'où tu loges et ce que tu vas voir.
La souris donne plein d'idées de visite sur son blog (lien en signature), il y a de quoi faire à Rome, après 3 séjours nous n'avons toujours pas "tout" vu !
Pour le Vatican j inclus les visites des musées.
Je pense qu'une demi journée devrait suffire.
Il est vraiment top ton blog. ..
Je regarde ça tranquillement
Bonjour,
Tous les grands parcs de Rome, appelés villa: villa Borghese, villa Doria Pamphilj, villa Ada... sont gratuits.
Dans la villa Borghese on peut aussi louer des rosalies ce qui est sympas si on voyage avec des enfants, et de la place d'Espagne ou place del Popolo on y arrive facilement.

Summer 2027 is going to be Norwegian for us!
We’re heading to the Lofoten Islands first, then Senja, near Tromsø, and finally the North Cape.
We’ll likely start from northern Finland (flight tickets and car rentals are more affordable there).
I’d like to book accommodations early to have more options.
Good value-for-money places go fast in these pricey Nordic destinations...
But where should we book?
We’re planning to stay around ten nights in the Lofoten Islands.
What’s the best approach?
One place in the central part and explore from there?
One place in the south and another in the center?
Or one in the south, one in the center, and one in the north (3-4-3 nights)?
Hi,
My daughter is heading to Iceland for a 4- to 5-day trek. Our Belgian network doesn’t cover Iceland. What’s the best alternative to stay reachable as much as possible, even while hiking?
Thanks
Hi there, my husband and I are planning a trip to Iceland in mid-October 2026.
Would you have any advice on the best places to visit for a first trip to this destination? Thanks
Hi there, a friend will be visiting Great Britain in August and would like to explore some representative spots in Denmark before heading back to Canada.
What affordable activities could you recommend to him?
He’d really appreciate it, as he has a deep appreciation for Nordic countries—probably because of his own Nordic roots.
Thanks
Hi, I'm heading to Italy soon and I wanted to know if Italian banks charge fees when you withdraw cash at an ATM, or if, like in Spain or Greece, it's better to avoid taking out money and bring cash instead. Looking forward to your replies... Thanks
We’re planning a short trip at the end of July to explore the legendary mountains and valleys of the Bernese Oberland: round trip from Nancy (Swiss highway vignette planned), 2 nights in a room with a small kitchen in Adelboden, then 2 nights in a hotel at the Gletscherblick in Grindelwald, both with half-board included.
Could you share some tips on the best road routes to take, as well as some walking hikes (we’re not as fit as we used to be, so nothing longer than 2-3 hours)? Maybe also 1 or 2 cable car rides—I was thinking of Oeschinensee Lake above Kandersteg and the First gondola above Grindelwald for better panoramic views of the Eiger, Mönch, and Jungfrau... all while keeping it doable with our schedule. We’ve ruled out the "premium" trip up to the Jungfraujoch for this time.
I’m also guessing that paying to access Wengen or Mürren only makes sense if we’re staying there for a few days, right?
- Is the road through the narrow valley of the White Lütschine toward Lauterbrunnen and beyond still worth it in terms of views and scenery?
On the way back, if we have a little time to explore Bern’s historic old town, what’s the best parking plan for a 1- or 2-hour stop?
Thanks in advance for your advice, fellow travelers familiar with this beautiful region! 😉
Hi,
I’ll be in Barcelona at the end of October.
I can choose to be there over the weekend or during the week. Probably 4 nights.
Is there a big difference in terms of crowds in the city and in the museums?
Little or no difference would simplify my itinerary on the way.
Hi there,
I’ll be in Rome from April 1st to 13th, 2026—it’s coming up fast!
I’ve been searching online for tickets to visit the Borghese Gallery, but either there’s no availability or the tickets offered are ridiculously expensive.
Could someone guide me to a website where I can book 2 skip-the-line tickets (I’ve heard you have to reserve in advance online)?
Hi everyone,
I rented a car through Klaus Wagen, picking it up in downtown Porto and returning it in downtown Lisbon.
After paying, I read some pretty negative reviews about them.
So, can anyone reassure me with positive experiences they’ve had with them?
Thanks in advance!
Hello, VoyageForum friends, and happy holidays!
I’m planning a trip with my 19-year-old grandson to Milan for Easter Saturday, Sunday, and Monday in 2025.
I’d love your insights on what we can visit in Milan that would interest both my grandson and me (I’m 75). Of course, I’m thinking of the must-sees, but not just those—cozy little restaurants, trendy neighborhoods, and anything else you’d recommend. I’m also looking for a comfortable hotel in the city center that isn’t too expensive!
I’m sure the VoyageForum community will help me uncover some hidden gems! Looking forward to your replies.
Hi there,
I’m heading to Setúbal at the end of June with my granddaughter, and I can’t seem to find clear info on the best way to get from Lisbon Airport to Setúbal. It looks like there’s a train or bus, but I can’t find the exact names of the bus (or train) companies or the precise departure points. Thanks if anyone can help me out! 😉 Just to clarify, I’m on a tight budget and have already ruled out taxis or similar options.
Hello,
We’re heading to Puglia at the end of May. We’re a senior couple. We arrive in Bari, where we’ve booked accommodation for 2 nights. We’ve rented a car.
Day 1: Bari
Day 2: Polignano a Mare – Monopoli
Day 3: Ostuni – Brindisi
Day 4: Lecce
Day 5 & 6: Exploring the coast from Otranto to Santa Maria di Leuca
Day 7 & 8: Gallipoli area
Day 9 & 10: Matera
We’re considering renting a place near Lecce for 5 days and using it as a base to explore the region.
Hi there,
I visited the Faroe Islands in late March 2026 for about ten days. I was invited by a friend who lives near Tórshavn, so I don’t have any info on tourist accommodations or car rentals. Still, I’d like to share a few thoughts about my trip:
- Before leaving, I consulted travel guides and blogs. I was surprised by how repetitive and unoriginal the featured sites were. This leads hurried travelers to follow the same overcrowded routes, which can annoy locals. I found that all Faroese villages were interesting—they reflect the country’s identity, even without the iconic grass-roofed houses. Those are indeed harmonious and beautiful, but they feel like an exotic cliché. For activities, I loved the lively ports that keep the country running.
- I was annoyed by the paid trails in tourist spots. Locals explained that these paths cross private land, and owners are responsible for maintenance and safety. There are plenty of free trails, too—signs at the start detail their features. While not alarmist, the extreme and unpredictable weather is a key factor to consider before setting out.
- The wind’s strength really impressed me. The architecture, with doors and windows opening outward to prevent gusts from blowing roofs off, speaks to the harsh climate. Some days, relentless rain and squalls made going outside unappealing. I realized that in this country, it’s best to plan for flexible indoor days.
- Distances are relatively short. I was happy to be based near Tórshavn because it was easy to explore one or more places in a day. The roads are in great condition. In late March, diesel was 2 €. Tunnel tolls can add up (~26 € per crossing), making a fixed base less practical than I’d thought.
- Everyone agrees: the landscapes are breathtaking. Nature feels untamed here—except for the short grass, thanks to all the woolly sheep.
- The flight from Paris to the Faroe Islands (and back) was long in March—11 hours with three legs: Paris-Amsterdam, Amsterdam-Copenhagen, Copenhagen-Vágar. In bad weather, Vágar Airport can close, causing delays. During tourist season, Atlantic Airways offers a direct Paris-Faroe Islands flight, which is more comfortable and cheaper.
- I found a book recommendation in a guide that fascinated me after my trip: *Les collectionneurs d'images* by Joanes Nielsen. Through its sometimes caricatured characters, it offers a glimpse into Faroese mentalities from the 1950s to 1970s—attitudes that likely persist today.
In conclusion, I’ve traveled a lot and I’m tired of destinations that all start to look the same. The Faroe Islands were a delight—a country stunning in its landscape, climate, and culture, where tourism has barely altered its authenticity.
Hi there,
We’re planning a trip for October to visit Naples (6 nights) and the Amalfi Coast (5 nights). We’ve already got the historic center and the Lapis Museum in Naples, Pompeii, Herculaneum, Procida, Sorrento, and Ravello on our list. Any suggestions, addresses, or tips?
Thanks for your help.

What do you recommend?
Best regards,

Hello,
We’re heading to Bavaria from May 13 to 23, with a side trip to Austria.
Here’s our itinerary:
Day 1: Brussels-Munich
Day 2: Munich
Day 3: Munich and departure for Salzburg
We’ll be staying three nights in Salzburg.
Then we’ll head to Garmisch-Partenkirchen, where we’ll stay for five nights.
Visiting Munich and Salzburg isn’t too tricky.
Once in Garmisch, we’re planning a day in Innsbruck, a day for Neuschwanstein Castle, and the rest is still up in the air.
What’s really got me stumped is that we’d love to see Königssee Lake—everyone says it’s a must-see.
We’d also like to visit the Eagle’s Nest (Kehlsteinhaus), where the landscapes are supposedly stunning.
This would either be a round trip while we’re in Salzburg or on the way between Salzburg and Garmisch, but I’m guessing it’s impossible to do the drive from Salzburg to Garmisch, the Eagle’s Nest, *and* Königssee Lake all in one day.
Plus, the Alpine route between Salzburg and Garmisch seems prettier than the highway.
But honestly, I’m feeling a bit overwhelmed with the planning.
We should’ve added a stop between Salzburg and Garmisch, but the hotels are already booked.
Thanks for any advice on the itinerary and visits!
Another question: How far in advance should we book Neuschwanstein, Königssee, and the Eagle’s Nest in May?
Thanks so much in advance for your tips and ideas!
hi
I’m wondering if anyone can give me some info on how to get from Mallorca to Menorca.
Since flights are cheaper to Mallorca, I’d like to go that way.
Thanks so much for your help!
We’re planning a trip to Finland and Norway this summer, starting in Oulu to explore Lapland, heading up to the North Cape, and then making our way down to Bergen.
This route means renting a car in Finland and dropping it off in Norway. My initial searches are showing rental rates that are... astronomical—about three times the price compared to returning it at the starting point.
I’m guessing I’m not the only one wanting to visit both countries. Are there any great tips to drastically reduce the cost of renting a car?
Hi there, we’re a couple of bikers planning a trip to Majorca in June 2026, and I’d love to organize a half-day or full-day boat or catamaran outing. Which coast do you think is the nicest for this, and do you have any suggestions or personal experiences to share? Thanks in advance!
Hi there,
Does anyone know if there are any works in progress at Torcello, and if so, what type of works and how long they’re expected to last?
Thanks in advance
Hi everyone,
I’m sharing my draft itinerary with you because I just booked our flight tickets, and I feel like it’s quite late in the season. So, I’d like to be sure about my stops before reserving the hotels. I’ll be traveling alone with my two adult children. We want to prioritize outdoor walks, avoid too many indoor visits (both for budget and preference), and not spend too much time on the road.
D1: Arrival at 9 AM in Malaga, day in Malaga and overnight stay
D2: Head straight to Nerja (1-hour drive) and spend the night there
D3: Head straight to Granada (1.5-hour drive), spend the day and night there
D4: Granada. Visit the Alhambra (Nasrid Palaces tour at 5 PM) and spend the night
D5: Head to Ronda (2.5-hour drive) and spend the night
D6: White Villages and overnight in Ronda
D7: Head straight to the Costa del Sol (e.g., Estepona), spend the day and night there
D8: Return to Malaga to catch our flight
There you go! This itinerary takes into account that we’d like to do a circuit starting from Seville in a few years. That said, it’d be a shame to miss something doable from Malaga.
Questions:
Since the Alhambra visit is only at 5 PM, and we’d already have the day to explore Granada, would arriving the day before be a mistake? Or should we skip this day and dedicate it elsewhere (Costa del Sol? Head toward Tabernas?)? The old town appeals to me, but maybe the Sacromonte neighborhood isn’t essential...
Same question for Ronda: should we dedicate a full day to it, or combine Ronda and the White Villages in one day?
Note that we love wandering around villages outside, so that might answer my question! :)
Final question: Is it better to rent the car at Malaga Airport or in the city? If we rent at the airport, we’d need a hotel with parking, which doesn’t seem easy. Or stay outside the city and park for free near the center if possible? I’ve read comments about taking a taxi to Malaga and then picking up the rental car at the airport the next morning. The taxi would really need to be affordable...
Thanks so much for your feedback and suggestions for visits during this little circuit.
Have a great day, everyone!
Christine
