When you visit Rome, one of the obligatory stops is the Fontana di Trevi, the most beautiful fountain in Rome and probably in the whole world. This fountain located on one of the sides of the square was built in 1762. It receives this name because it was located at the junction of three tracks (Tre Vie). In it, the enormous sculpture of Neptune stands out on a chariot pulled by sea horses and tritons.

The most emblematic thing about this fountain is that it hides a myth, which consists of throwing coins into the water with your right hand over your left shoulder. If you throw a coin it is believed that you will return to Rome, if you throw two you will find love and if you throw three you will marry the person you met. That is why it is practically impossible to find this place alone, it is always crowded with tourists trying to fulfill one of these wishes.

 

2. The Colisseum

The emblem of the Czech capital is undoubtedly its famous astronomical clock, and not only because it tells the time, but because, according to the belief in the capital, the proper functioning of the clock means the proper functioning of the city. There is something magical about it and surely the legend that accompanies it will surprise you, this legend is related to its creator, the master watchmaker Hanus, who, due to his magnificent work, was blinded by the councilors precisely so that he would not repeat it.

This clock was built in 1410 and is made up of three parts, the Josef Manes calendar, the astronomical clock and the animated figures.

The calendar is the part represented in the lower sphere, where the months of the year are indicated and the signs of the zodiac also appear, in addition to the coat of arms of the Old City. You will also be able to observe small sculptures, four specifically, where a philosopher, an angel, an astronomer and an orator are represented.

The astronomical clock is the part located in the upper sphere, where both the solar orbit and the lunar orbit are represented.

Lastly, the most anticipated part by all the spectators who pay close attention to the clock every hour on the hour, are the animated figures, who parade from window to window. These figures are the twelve apostles, but there are also four more figures, apart from the apostles, that will catch your attention, a Jewish merchant, a Turkish prince, a man with a mirror and a skeleton, three of these figures represent the deadly sins , the Jewish merchant represents greed, the Turkish prince, lust and the figure with the mirror, vanity. The skeleton represents death, which is the figure that rings the bell, warning that the same end awaits us all.

In short, observing the famous astronomical clock is a spectacle that you cannot miss on your visit to Prague from 09:00 a.m. to 11:00 p.m. and do not forget to climb the Clock Tower if you want to enjoy incredible views.

      How to get to Rome by train


      There are many people who enjoy the trip by train, so let's see how you can travel by rail to this magical city. You can get to Rome from other European cities such as Madrid or Barcelona by stopping in Milan with companies such as Trenhotel Salvador Dali, but it is true that they do not operate every day.

      If what you want is to go to Rome from Florence or Milan directly, the best option is the Eurostar, a high-speed train, with journeys of a maximum of 3 hours.

      If you choose to do it by bus, the Alsa company has connections between the main Spanish cities. The price is around 100 euros and the duration of the journey is about 30 hours.
