9. Trevi Fountain
Make a Wish ...
No journey is complete without seeing this massive fountain in the center of Rome. I always had my doubts about how much money gets collected each day and what is done with that money and i recently got my answers 😀
When the fountain is open, roughly €3,000 is thrown into it every day as people follow the tradition of throwing coins over their shoulders. The legend holds that a coin thrown into the fountain will ensure a return to Rome. This tradition also dates back to the ancient Romans who often threw coins in water to make the gods of water favor their journey or help them get back home safely. (Throw in a second coin if you’re seeking love – even a third for wedding bells!) .

(How many will you throw?)😅😊😉
