Spanish Steps
Colosseum
Trevi Fountain
Pantheon

Any other must see places in Rome?

Any other must see places near Rome that I could do as a day trip?

Thanks in advance!
4 days is a decent amount of time. You'll want to add St. Peters/Vatican museums to your itinerary. Whether you are Catholic or not, it is magnificent structure, and one of the finest museums in the world. The Gallery Boghese/Borghese Gardens is also a must.

As for side trips: Pompeii will take an entire day, as would Florence. Rather than losing an entire day, I would add the Catacombs.
