Group trip to Rome: share the costs, pay less
Rome is 2,500 years of open-air history: the Colosseum, the Vatican, fountains and trattorias. A dense destination where sharing a central apartment lets you do everything on foot and split a bill that climbs fast on your own.

Budget for a group trip to Rome
For a weekend, expect around €280-450 / person. The biggest line item is still accommodation — and that is exactly where travelling as a group changes everything. An apartment for 4 near Trastevere runs around €38/night/person versus €120 for a solo hotel — that's ~€245 saved each over 3 nights.
