3. Rome’s most famous treasures are now at your disposal. Enjoy them!
Take a photo of yourself in the Trevi Fountain. During the day or at night when nicely lit it has a romantic look. Take a coin to throw into the water and make a wish like all those who did the same before. Maybe you will be granted fulfilment of the myth.

Stand in the middle of all the noise and hustle and bustle in Rome's most famous square Piazza di Spagna with its famous Spanish Steps.

Don´t miss a great symbol of Rome. Admire the beauty of the Colosseum in Rome where only here you have the possibility to see the majesty of the Roman amphitheatre.

Walk the Roman Forum; be aware of all the attractions it offers. Temples, basilicas and more help you get back to old times.
