A holiday to Europe is forever a excellent cultural experience and the metropolitan areas of Roma and Paris are high on everyone's options. Here are a some of the best places to see in these cities.

Trevi Fountain - Rome

The Fontana di Trevi or Trevi Fountain is the most legendary and probably the most lovely fountain in the whole of Rome. This beautiful landmark dominates the lesser Trevi square situated in the Quirinale neighborhood.

Aqua Virgo

The Trevi fountain is at the ending section of the Aqua Virgo, an aqueduct manufactured in 19 BC. It brings water all the way from the Salone Springs (more or less 20km away from Rome) and supplies the fountains in the historic core of Rome with water.

Design of the Fountain
In 1732, Pope Clement XII got Nicola Salvi to design a big fountain by the Trevi Square. A prior try to make the fountain after a design by Bernini was stopped a century before following the loss of life of Pope Urban VIII.

The Fountain
The fundamental character of the fountain, in front of a sizeable position, is Neptune, god of the sea. He is on top of a chariot in the form of a shield, pulled by two sea horses. Each sea horse is guided by a Triton. One of the horses is tranquil and submissive, the other one impatient. They signify the irregular moods of the sea.
On the left hand part of Neptune is a statue representing Abundance.

Tossing a Coin
The water at the foot of the fountain signifies the sea. Legend says you will return to Rome if you throw a coin into the water. You should toss it over your shoulder facing away from the fountain.

Central Paris

The center of contemporary and the site of such landmarks as the Louvre and of the Tuileries and Palais-Royal, the first Arrondissement is full of sights for travelers of all inclinations, including some of the finest parks, museums, shops, and bars in the city. The first occupies the Right Bank of the River Seine and extends onto the western section of the Île de la Cité in the midst of the river.

For occupying such a compact space, however the 1st feels remarkably different from one end to the other. The almost incredibly upscale western end of the district gives way to the hustle and bustle of the big city east of the Palais Royal, and then further east to the pedestrian (and tourist) dominated area around Les Halles and the (currently shuttered) Samaritaine, where tourists mix with (especially young) Parisiens and Parisiennes in huge numbers (on the order of 800,000 unique visitors per day according to the Mayor's office).

The 2nd district is based on the right bank of the River Seine, the 2nd district, together with the neighbouring 8th and ninth sections, hosts an notable business district, centered on the Paris Opéra, which houses the city's most dense focus of business activities. The district homes the previous Paris Bourse (stock exchange) and a big number of banking headquarters, together with a textile district, known as the Sentier, and the Opéra-Comique concert hall.
