Rome

Rome, Italy
Make all of your wishes come true at the Fontana di Trevi. The tradition is that if you throw a coin over your left shoulder the fountain itself would make sure that you returned to Rome and again saw all of its beautiful and splendor. It has always been a landmark in Rome – but its popularity grew after the movie ‘Three Coins In A Fountain’ was made and was centered around it.No one can pass through Rome without stopping at this amazing arena and seeing exactly where the gladiators fought and the chariots raced. The Colosseum was first opened in 72 AD and is still able to hold 55,000 people.
