Start your excursion from the ... Excursions & Day trips Review

Favorite thing: Start your excursion from the <b><font color=blue> SQUARE of ST. GIOVANNI DI LATERANO</b></font>, explore it and go to watch the <b><font color=blue> COLOSSEUM</b></font>, where gladiators' fights and animals' persecution took place. Then go to the <b><font color=blue> SQUARE of EMPERORS' FORUMS</b></font>, that used to be religious and political centre. Nowadays you'll se just ruins. Pay attention to <b><font color=blue> TRAJAN COLUMN </b></font> erected to commemorate the emperor's victory over enemies. Then go to the central square of Rome - the <b><font color=blue> VENICE SQUARE </b></font> with the majestic white <b><font color=blue> PALACE of VICTOR EMMANUIL II</b></font>, the kings who united Italy. Have a walk along the embankment of the <b><font color=blue> TIBER </b></font> and admire the <b><font color=blue> CASTLE of SAINT ANGEL</b></font>. The <b><font color=blue> ROMAN PANTHEON </b></font> also deserves your attention due to its history and architecture.

Fondest memory: In Rome I was struck by <b><font color=fuchsia> three things</b></font>: <b><font color=blue> firstly </b></font> I always felt as if I got into the school history textbook, <b><font color=blue> secondly </b></font> the quantity of Egyptian Columns in Rome is surprisingly high - 13; <b><font color=blue> thirdly </b></font> - the architectural beauty of Roman fountains - <b><font color=fuchsia> Trevi in baroque </b></font> (see the picture),<b><font color=fuchsia> the Fountain of Four Rivers in Piazza Navona</b></font>. Each statue on latter fountain embodies one of the greatest rivers - the Nile, the Danube, the Ganges and the Rio-de-la Plato.
