Rome, Italy

Rome, always a travel destination that I most desire to travel too. 10 years ago, I learned Rome in my first memory from a Hong Kong drama. I'm still remember the scene they casted in Rome, the Colosseum, Trevi Fountain, and The Vatican City. There're so happening when every romantic scene casting in Rome, especially Trevi Fountain. 


Modern and old, past and present go side by side, all the time. 
Rome wasn't built in a day and can't be seen in a day. 


The Colosseum had make into only finalist from Europe to make it into 
The New Seven Wonders in the world. 
Once held up to 50,000 spectators who came to watch the gory games involving gladiators, wild animals, and prisoners. 


Just outside the Coliseum is the Arch of Constantine (Arco di Costantino), a 25m high monument built in AD315 to mark the victory of Constantine over Maxentius at Pons Milvius.


 Trevi Fountain, inspired by Roman triumphal arches, is the largest and most famous Baroque fountain in Rome (standing 25.9 meters high and 19.8 meters wide). 
Tradition has it a coin thrown into the water guarantees a visitor's return to Rome. 


Piazza di Spagna (Spanish Steps), once a year in the summertime, host a famous fashion show, and they are used as a catwalk. 
The most glamorous Rome streets lead to Piazza di Spagna, is where to find the most prestigious boutiques such as Prada, Valentino, Gucci etc. It is an ideal starting point to shopping in Rome. 


Tourist's travel to Rome isn't complete without visit to Vatican City, also known as the Holy City. It is considered to be the smallest independent state in the world, the home of Pope and the center of Catholicism.
