Booking.com

The capital of Italy offers more diverse content for everyone's taste. If you are fascinated by historical monuments that date back to ancient times, you are a lover of high fashion or you enjoy quality coffee, cheese, wine and pasta, then you are in the right place.

We present to you a few things that most perfectly describe Rome, but of course there are still many details that could be written for days.

The Trevi Fountain

The famous building that lures sighs from visitors from all over the world. The theme of the whole scenery is the sea, in the middle of which is a sculpture of Neptune (the Roman god of the sea) that dominates the space. Except for what looks magnificent, some also prescribe magical actions. The legend says that you have to throw a coin into the fountain that will provide you a return to this beautiful city. For this there is a small ritual where you throw the coin backwards with your right hand, turned back to the fountain.

Believe the legend or not, what is certain is that the city receives a significant amount of coins thanks to it. It is interesting that during the day, several thousands of euros are being thrown into the fountain.

Here at any moment you will meet people from all over the world. Whenever you decide to take a picture in front of the fountain, it is certain that someone will fall into your staff due to the large number of people gathered in this small area.

The Colosseum

The Colosseum captures the glimpse of the gladiatorial struggles and returns to the time of the great emperors and their slaves who fought to death to entertain the respected members of society who came in pursuit of fun. The huge amphitheater could sometimes accommodate as many as 50,000 spectators!

Before the Colosseum, you can visit the Roman Forum that testifies to the former glory and glamor of the rulers with the remains of the trimphal gates that were made in their honor to pay tribute to the successful conquests.

Un caffe macchiato per favore

This is one of the ways to order your favorite coffee. It's not hard to remember, but everyone will understand you and if you ask in English. The Italians are masters of making the best coffee. Espresso, cappuccino are just some of those coffees that can be drunk across Europe, but they have a completely different cheese here.

It is interesting, for example, that in Rome you will encounter cafes where people come to drink their coffee "from the foot". There are no chairs or tables, but visitors order a bar of some of the small-boxed coffees and drink it in two sips. They do not stay longer than 10 minutes, which is enough to freshen up with your favorite drink and continue on their way. One such café in the center of Rome along which you will surely spend is Tazza d'Oro.

Pasta with different shapes and flavors

Pastry lovers will feel like kings in their own world. Various types of pasta prepared al dente with thousands of dressings. If you want strong cheeses, gorgonzola is a great choice for pasta or for tasting some Italian wines.

In the central part of the city you can find many small streets with restaurants that when it's nice time take their tables out. Then you have the opportunity to eat by observing passers-by who are moving fast through the Italian throne.

La Moda Italiana

Armani, Versace, Dolce & Gabanna - no need for further explanation, names tell everything. Italy is synonymous with style and glamor. Its creators have explained the fashion rules of the whole world. In the Rome ride you will often fly to places where you can buy beautiful and quality things for more or less money, all depending on your aspirations and opportunities.

When you leave the Spanish Steps for a walk, the road will take you to the famous streets via Condotti and via del Corso, which include shops such as Dolce & Gabbana, Chanel, Louis Vuitton, Swarovski. If you are a lover of superb shopping or just want to go for a moment in that world of high fashion and glamor you are in the right place.

When you look at the people around you, you will come to the conclusion that all are arranged in style. You will recognize the Italians among the thousands of people. At any moment they seem to have come from a fashion show.

Most of the boys are black-haired, stunned, with sunglasses, in shirts, napkins, black pants and jackets. Nobody cares what's out there maybe quite warm, they do not deviate from their expected looks. The Italians are not so important in the value of the wardrobe, but in the style itself. They know how to make the "right combination" from the accessory models of the wardrobe, or what they say "know how to wear things".

Holy angel

The magnificent castle Sant'Angelo, built in the 2nd century. Throughout the years he had various functions. It is used as a fortress, a papal residence, a prison, and now it has been turned into a museum.

To the castle leads the eponymous bridge through Tiber. On the bridge are statues of angels laid symmetrically against one another. According to the legend, they are the angels who guard the castle. Whether it is because of the legend or by some logic, the castle has very successfully evaded the tooth of time and looks equally magnificent today as in the distant 139 year when it was made. If you are fans of the popular series "Borgias", you probably have noticed this castle in one of the scenes.
