Fontana di Trevi (Trevi Fountain), one of the most emblematic places in Rome, Italy
Hello virtual friends
I'm glad to be among you again and share with you one of my last experiences I had in Rome, Italy.
Yes I got carried away by the Italian capital and of course I wanted to test the local life, I don't know if I succeeded completely but after three days spent here I can say that I filled my batteries and left there with unforgettable memories.
Hey guys I can't believe I'm in Rome!
Another dream come true.
I flew from Budapest to Fiumicino airport (FCO) Italy, I don't know why, but I expected the airport in Italy to be quite small but surprise the airport is huge structured on several terminals (so if somehow you arrive here be careful from which terminal you take off).
From Fiumicino airport to the city centre we took a fast train called Leonardo Express (14euro/person one way) which does not stop at any station, its route being Fiumicino - Termini station.
From Termini train station we took a bus (the local public transport company is called ATAC) which dropped us somewhere 150m from the hotel where we had our accommodation.
There are two other ways to get from the airport to the city centre, the cheapest is by train which stops at all stations between the airport and Termini station (7euro/person one way) and the most expensive transfer is by taxi which costs 50 euro (all taxis have this fixed price).
Public transport is very well set up in Rome, we only used the bus and it was very cheap at around 1,5euro per day.
About our accommodation I will talk to you in another post today I want to introduce you to one of the most emblematic places in Rome and I think in the world, I am curious how many of the visitors of my post have heard or even visited this place.
We arrived at the hotel around 9 am and although check-in was after 3 pm we were lucky and could check in much faster (here we met some very hospitable people).
I hadn't even unpacked my luggage yet, as I was already on my way to the bus stop for the Trevi Fountain.
From the bus stop next to the hotel we took bus 628 for a few stops after which we had to walk, and yes, in the three days we walked a lot.
After a few minutes of walking through the narrow streets full of souvenir shops and tourists, it felt like all of Italy was visiting the fountain at that moment, hehe.
Finally I can't believe we're right in front of the fountain.
Fontana di Trevi (Trevi Fountain) is located in Trevi square at the intersection of three streets, in the middle of the fountain is the god Neptune, this fountain also has a legend that says that if you throw a coin over your head in the fountain water you will return one day back to Rome.
There are so many coins in the water of the fountain that every day the fountain is closed in the morning between 8 and 9 o'clock for the workers to collect the coins from the water, every day around 3000 euros are collected here and then donated to good causes.
We stayed here for more than half an hour and took as many pictures as the crowd of people allowed us, then we enjoyed a gelato (an Italian ice cream).
At the end we visited for a few moments the church of Saint Vicenzi and Anastasio.
Dear visitors, this was our first experience of the mini-holiday we had a few days ago in Rome, Italy.
