Rome, Italy

        Italy in general has always been the place I dream of visiting. Rome especially has some of the most famous monuments in the world, and attracts people from all different places. When visiting Rome, it is said that seeing the Colosseum, the Trevi Fountain, the Vatican, and the Pantheon are just a few must see places.

        The Trevi Fountain symbolizes the power of nature and to many is considered lucky. Throwing a coin over your shoulder, and into the fountain supposedly means you will eventually visit Rome again. The Colosseum is a great taste of the Middle Ages, and is a wonderful way to experience some of Rome's history. The Vatican tour allows you will see rooms of art, cultural and religious aspects. The Pantheon was the first temple built for the people of Rome, clearly showing Roman culture. Rome is also home to one of the most expensive shopping streets in the world, Villa Vento.

        While dining in Rome, Italian favorites are located on every corner. Many restaurants provide outdoor dining and have great views. Meat, red sauces, pizza, and pastas are a large part of the cuisine. The pasta courses, as well as many of the desserts are often the highlight of the menu. Experiencing the food of Rome is often very convenient for tourists. 

        The capital of Italy sure has a lot to say for it self. Italian culture and history are abundant in Rome, and seem to make for a beautiful experience at the same time. Spending time in some of the oldest parts of the world would definitely make for a great trip!
