Attractions Introduction

"Wishing Fountain: The Tradition of a Coin" The Trevi Fountain is Rome's most famous fountain ‑‑ its Baroque carvings are exceptionally ornate. Legend has it that turning your back to the fountain and tossing a coin will bring you back to Rome. Thousands of people throw coins here every day, and this tradition has lasted for over a century.

"Pantheon: The 2000‑Year‑Old Dome Miracle" The dome of the Pantheon has a diameter of 43 meters and was built by the ancient Romans nearly 2000 years ago ‑‑ it remains the world's largest unreinforced concrete dome. The oculus at the top is the sole source of light; the moment sunlight pours in, you will understand why it has stood for so many years.

"Altare della Patria: The Symbol of the White Temple" Located in the center of Piazza Venezia, this white marble building is a symbol of Italian unification ‑‑ magnificent, solemn, and strikingly eye‑catching in Rome's historic center. The guide will help you appreciate its historical significance.
