It depends on exactly which days you will be in Rome. The Vatican Museums are closed on the 1st, 4th, and the 11th of May. If you want to go there, you'll need to plan to avoid those days. Reservations are not mandatory, but it's best to reserve a time because the lines are usually long to get in. http://mv.vatican.va/3_EN/pages/MV_Home.html

The ancient Roman sites (Colosseum, Forum, Palatine Hill, Circus Maximus, ... are pretty compact. Depending on how much of this you cover, you could combine this with San Pietro in Vincoli (St Peter's chains and a good Michelangelo sculpture), Capitoline Hill, the Vittoriano, Santa MAria Sopra Minerva and the Pantheon. While you're in the ancient Roman area see the Mouth of Truth and maybe the view through the keyhole at the Consiglio di Malta on Aventine Hill. This is worth the effort to find (close to Circus Maximus). This site give directions on how to find it: http://wikitravel.org/en/Rome/Aventino http://farm1.static.flickr.com/34/113318773_c9dfed0b7a.jpg

On a second day you could do the Vatican and Vatican museums. Castel Sant'Angelo is a very short walk from St Peter's and is worth a visit. The bridge in front of the fortress is very nice.

For a third day, you could see Piazza Navona, the Pantheon and Santa Maria Sopra Minerva (if you don't do these with the ancient Rome sights), Trevi fountain, the Spanish Steps, and Villa Borghese

You can do these in any any order for the three days.

When in Roma, see the Colosseum and catch a tour bus outside of it that will take you around the important places of intrest. You can do all this in a half of day. Rome is a big tourist trap.
