Levente has already heard – and studied – a lot about Rome, about its sights and of course about its delicious pizza and gelato. He really wanted to experience it firsthand.

Levente has never travelled on an airplane before, thus already the airport was interesting for him but it caused him additional joy when the captain welcomed him on board by name. The icing on the cake was, when after landing, he was allowed to go into the cockpit, thanks to WizzAir Foundation.

Since Levente was first of all interested in the Colosseum, we headed there first. It was a fantastic feeling seeing this magnificent monument! We could only go in the next day, so we continued our walk toward Circus Maximus. Strolling towards Tevere also Levente put his hand in „the mouth of truth” -and got it out safely😊. After eating pizza for lunch we got to Saint Peter’s square, which got Levente in awe, and he was mesmerized by the size and beauty of the Basilica. There were so many sights to take in that he barely felt tired after this long day, so in the evening we visited the Trevi-fountain and the Spanish steps as well.

Our second day was entirely taken up by wandering around the Colosseum and the Forum Romanum – it was beautiful!
We started the third day on Piazza del Popolo, after which we revisited – this time in daylight - the Spanish steps, the Trevi-fountain, and we could tick the Pantheon off the list as well. After all this walking Levente earned himself a true Italian gelato – it was difficult choosing from the 150 flavours offered. Refreshed, we admired Piazza Navona, walked along the river, through the Jewish quarters, and at the Largo di Torre Argentina we counted the cats.

On the fourth – and last – day we visited the Santa Maggiore Basilica and then we went to the local vegetable and fish market. After that we still had time to go up to the top of the Vittorio Emanuele II. memorial, from where we enjoyed a breathtaking view. It was a worthy goodbye from this beautiful city! Levente gained a lot of experiences on this trip, the „eternal city” became an eternal memory for him in only a few days.
