Trevi Fountain
Rome's grandest fountain, filling one side of a small square. Toss a coin over your shoulder and, the legend goes, you'll return.
- Open
- Always; the paid basin area runs from 9 am to 10 pm
- Price
- Free from the square; €2 to go down to the basin from 9 am to 10 pm, a charge set to run until the end of 2027
- Time Needed
- 20 minutes
- Address
- Piazza di Trevi, 00187 RomeDirections
- Getting There
- Barberini station (Metro line A), then a 10-minute walk.
Why Go
Finished in 1762, the fountain shows the sea god Oceanus riding a shell chariot over tumbling rocks. The coins thrown in, more than a million euros a year, go to charity.
Since February 2026, standing on the steps at the water's edge costs €2 from 9 am to 10 pm. The view from the square above is free, and so is the basin early in the morning and late at night.
Tips
- Come early in the morning or late at night for room to breathe.
- Sitting on the rim or putting your feet in the water brings a fine.
