! Rome: Throw money at the fountain Trretna before to tell her «Chao»!
In what some may blame the global economic conditions, which impacted clearly in the global travel and the flow of tourists, it was convenient for me somewhat. Rome is well known that there are almost unbearable in the peak tourist seasons, where prices are fictional, and will be lucky if any hotel rooms reasonable price. From this point of selfish perhaps I was relieved, because Rome will be more comfortable this time, and less crowded, but this satisfaction turned to the antibody in the next morning to my arrival to the Eternal City.
The city with a population of more than three million people, which do not find elegant furnishings and glass high-rise construction sites or buildings remained unchanged in the wonderful architecture in order to preserve its image heritage. The narrow streets are paved with black basalt stones Most often, Bicycle scooter pass by the hundreds in front of you and you reflect on the one hand to the other trot, and free afternoon Gorge, and people everywhere. The degree of change of scene between Dubai and Rome already stark! But if you are an amateur archeology, history, Vroma offers you overeat, where towering monuments still there for thousands of years. Dozens of sites and buildings Tzhrk and takes you back mentally to the golden age of the Tsars starting Alkambidolegu (or Capitol Hill), sits on a hill, and was the seat of civilian government since the advent of Rome, which enter the Renaissance artist months Michelangelo (1475 1564), touches across redesign arena and marble facades consummate the three palaces that are out there.
And of course do not want to miss Show Colosseum in ancient Rome, a huge building and majestic inaugurated in 80 AD to be the scene of entertainment can accommodate more than 50 thousand spectators and took built about eight years, and was the place of live showdown offers between combatants to death (Have you seen the movie Gladiator? ).
The Pantheon miracle of miracles architecture in consistency and fit-dimensional and is still in good condition since he was a temple of the Gentiles, was built by Agrippa, where the commander of the armies of Tsar Augusreis in 27 BC, and rebuilt the Emperor Hadrian in the second century AD.
And attracts the Spanish Steps, located in the Piazza de España Square of thousands of tourists a day to see the beautiful and wonderful grades battleground, which is named after the Spanish Embassy to the Vatican, which occupies a historic place in this arena since the seventeenth century. On these sites, you can take a break and take pictures from all angles. In the square in the bottom of the thresholds, there Barkatchea Fountain, one of the hundreds of water fountains that you see around Rome, the most famous fountain luck Fontana di Trevi, which reach it via the branching lane of de Trretna Street.
This fountain was built in the eighteenth century Baroque style and Antiques by dozens of statues depicting legends of the sea and fantasy creations. This fountain appeared in many famous films, including the film «Three coins in the fountain» in 1954, as well as in the film genius Italian director Federico Fellini «to Adulci Vita». This is the site of the most famous fountains luck in the world, where legend has it that if you wish to return to Rome, you throw a coin in it. According to the Italian companions, the mayor of Rome gathered tens of thousands of pieces per month for the euro acted on the work, and also donates foreign currency for charitable bodies. I personally wished to return to Rome three times, because I threw three Emirati dirhams where! Add to the effects of the Rome is a shopper's paradise and a gourmet food, and fortunately it does not exist in Rome many shopping centers, also in Dubai, but you can walk for hours and hours on the road for watching on the facades of hundreds of small shops scattered here and there, which is a beautiful experience in itself provided it does not drop off your wife with you! The best it can be bought from Rome, of course, is the leather and silk clothes and linen products, despite the fact that prices are higher than prices of Dubai, but it is worth the price because you will not find like her.
The Italian cuisine is well known and when in Rome do not look for an Arab or international restaurants because you're so committed a crime against yourself! Italian dishes and a few simple ingredients, and the meat or fish is usually either fried or grilled cooking. It is fresh pasta dishes, there is what they call the fettuccine (not nearly between him and Fattoush!), A vermicelli golden eggs best are with constituents of tomatoes and meat Alrago sauce, and the artichoke (artichokes) Italian is one of the tastiest dishes, especially if asked soup artichoke.
If you are accompanied by an Italian dinner, be prepared to sit at the table at least two hours, because the dinner offers a lengthy four batches.
During my stay in Rome, landed in San Regis Hotel of the Starwood group, which also operates the Sheraton, a famous landmark of Rome landmarks, reopened in 2000 after a renovation process lasted 18 months.
