What is Trevi Fountain?

  • Pope Clement XII commissioned the Baroque fountain in 1732; Nicola Salvi completed it in 1762 to serve as the terminus of the restored Aqua Virgo aqueduct.
  • A sculptural ensemble centers on Neptune riding a shell-shaped chariot as Tritons guide the horses and allegorical figures embody Abundance and Salubrity, all carved from travertine and marble.
  • The 26-meter-high, 49-meter-wide façade of Palazzo Poli frames the fountain, blending classical motifs with dynamic aquatic engineering in Rome's historic center.

The Trevi Fountain is breathtaking and one of the most iconic spots in Rome. The details of the sculptures and the sound of the water make it feel magical. It does get very crowded, but tossing a coin in is a must—it’s such a fun tradition. Best to visit early morning or late at night to enjoy it with fewer people.

It was truly impressive to see in person. I completely understood the hype when I visited yesterday. I arrived around 10 a.m. and initially expected it to be packed, but surprisingly, it wasn’t. I guess most people went as early as 6 a.m. to avoid the crowds. There’s a queue if you want to go down closer to the water, but you can still take great photos without waiting in line. People were also ve...
