#Italy #Rome #Day 7


Wo, here we come...Rome!This is one of the cities I l always want to go for, plainly because I read a lot of legend stories of the places and it sounds interesting to me!

First arrival here , we visited another country instead which isVatican!We went to 2 places which is Vatican museum and St. Peter’s Square & Basilica FREE

 The Vatican Museums are the museums of the Vatican City and are located within the city's boundaries.
The highlight of it is the The Sistine Chapel
The Sistine Chapel is the personal chapel of the pope and the place where new popes are elected. But its claim to fame is its paint job: colorful frescoes by Michelangelo, depicting the entire Christian history from the Creation to the Last Judgment. 




Then, we took metro back to Rome. After having our dinner, we visited Spanish Steps & Trevi fountain
Trevi Fountain is a fountain in the Trevi district in Rome, Italy, designed by Italian architect Nicola Salvi and completed by Pietro Bracci. Standing 26.3m high and 49.15m wide, it is the largest Baroque fountain in the city and one of the most famous fountains in the world.
A traditional legend holds that if visitors throw a coin into the fountain, they are ensured a return to Rome. Coins are purportedly meant to be thrown using the right hand over the left shoulder. 
The Spanish Steps are a set of steps in Rome, Italy, climbing a steep slope between the Piazza di Spagna at the base and Piazza Trinità dei Monti, dominated by the Trinità dei Monti church at the top. The Scalinata is the widest staircase in Europe.

But for us, we came out with our own story. Girl should throw the coin whereas guys should picked it up so that they can find their love one! Believe it or not, it is just a legend.
