Toss a coin and change your fate at the most famous fountain in the world: Trevi Fountain! Featured in countless T.V. shows and films, the Trevi Fountain is one of the most easily recognizable Rome attractions. And, no Rome sightseeing trip is complete without making a wish at this beautiful, 18th-century masterpiece. Commissioned by Pope Clement XII and designed by Nicola Salvi, the Trevi Fountain, like many fountains, is said to grant wishes if you make a monetary offering. Simply turn your back to the fountain and throw the coin over your left shoulder with your right hand. Then, turn back around and enjoy the gorgeous, highly detailed façade for the remainder of your Trevi Fountain trip. Stare up at the powerful Oceanus, god of the ocean. Check out his shell-shaped chariot. And, look on as Triton leads the way and tames the hippocamps, which are mythical creatures best described and half-horse and half-fish. The scene is all about taming the waters; and, keeping the sea gods appeased with a shiny coin is one of the most memorable things to do in Rome. So, why not enjoy the Trevi Fountain as part of a Classic Rome Tour? Or, take in the dazzling light display while the Trevi Fountain is illuminated during a Rome by Night tour. It’s what to do in Rome for an unforgettable Trevi Fountain experience!

OUR TIPS FOR TREVI FOUNTAIN
The best time to visit Trevi Fountain is between April and May. You’ll experience less crowding than would during the summer and the days are definitely milder than the dog days of the summer months. And, while Rome remains popular throughout the year, you can still come across fabulous deals on hotel rooms and major Rome attractions. However, you might want to plan for occasional rain. The area around the Trevi Fountain becomes jam-packed during the summer. It’s basically impossible to get a clear shot of the fountain with your camera. So, if that’s important to you, try showing up at dawn to catch the Trevi Fountain at its least busy time. Taking a Trevi Fountain trip during the winter means you’ll encounter fewer tourists. But, restorations and repairs are often made during the offseason, so there’s some risk that the Trevi Fountain could be partially obscured.
Getting to the Trevi Fountain is easy! Most visitors on a Rome vacation simply walk to Trevi Fountain after checking out the Spanish Steps. The distance between these two Rome attractions is less than a mile; so, it’s an easy, leisurely stroll to the Trevi Fountain. Otherwise, you can take a taxi and get dropped off very close to the fountain. And, while Rome’s taxis can be pricey, if you’re taking one from the Spanish Steps to the Trevi Fountain, then the fare will be nominal. Alternatively, busses present a cost-effective, safe option. You can take Bus No. 71, 62, 85, or the 160, all of which stop very close to Trevi Fountain. By Metro, you’ll need to take either the A or B line. And, the following commuter trains stop near the Trevi Fountain: FL2, FL4, FL5, and R. Regardless of which mode of transportation you choose, you’ll soon discover that reaching the Trevi Fountain is a breeze!
Low on cash? That’s fine. Just don’t try to fund your Rome trip by stealing coins from the Trevi Fountain. It’s a crime that will land you behind bars. And, that can put a significant dent in your travel budget, not to mention the time wasted touring the local jail.
