The whole of Rome is amazing and by just walking round you'll see wonderful things.
Eat in Trastevere (the bohemian quarter) where it's cheaper and great quality.

Day 3: Go to the Coliseum, Victor Emmanuelle Building, and see the ruins of Trajan's Market. You can walk across to see the Circus Maximus where chariot racing was held, if you are feeling energetic. You have to purchase a ticket to go up into the Coliseum. Keep your ticket because you will need it to access the ruins - Forum and various temples, and when walking across the Palatine Hills to the Victor Emmanuelle Building nearby.
Day 4: Visit the places which I did not mention - Villa Borghese, and Piazza del Popolo. Go for a tour on an Open Top Tour Bus, if you have the spare cash, and time. You would have seen most of the places by then, but it summarizes nicely what you have seen on your tour.
Hotel: Most Rome Hotels offer breakfast inclusive of the booking price. Breakfast at the hotel I booked was fantastic - wide variety, with several helpings buffet style.
Look out for the Resort Fee/Rome City Tax, which you will be charged when checking out at your hotel. I recommend that you find out the cost per person per day.
Most hotels will store your baggage in their secure room, after you have checked out, until you are ready to leave for the airport.
Restaurants: The restaurants I used were outdoor al fresco dining, even in the evening (it is very warm during summer), and all were very good. Try a pizza with chilled Peroni beer - just superb.
Pickpockets: I did not see any pick-pocketing incidents, and indeed, I did not feel threatened, but always be vigilant about bags, cameras, and mobile phones. Do not keep your passport exposed in your shirt pocket. I wasn't approached by beggars, anywhere.
Open Top Bus Tours: I was approached several times by Indian foreign nationals selling open top bus tours at Termini Station, but they were always polite. They leave you alone if you say you are not interested. They work on a commission basis, and the tour operator office is nearby to Termini Station.
Travelling on the Metro: Rome has two lines - A and B. You can get to most tourist attractions on the Metro. You can buy a 3-days Unlimited Travel Tourist Pass, which you can use on both the Metro and buses. Remember to Validate your pass before travelling.
