Must see fountain in Rome! Super huge tourist attraction & worth the $2 euros to walk along the fountains edge & fill up water container on the side! Throw in a coin & Make a Wish! Beautiful picture are taken here!
Have not been here since years ago and now they "charge" 2 euro to get close to take a photo and view, seriously...?! Also July is soooo crowded. Sighs, it's beautiful, however so not fun anymore.
The Trevi fountain was crowded...super crowded...for good reason. The fountain is extremely detailed, with cascading water and towering statues. Visitors and locals took part in the tradition of tossing a coin over their shoulder into the fountain for good luck. Trevi Fountain encapsulatesits beauty, drama, and romance of Rome. Absolutely spectacular...one of our favorite Rome landmarks!
A definite must see The Trevi fountain where you hold your coin in your right hand and toss over your left shoulder when making a wish, again this location can be enjoyed better without all the people. Arrive at 7-8:25am and you will be right at the fountain without anyone there and it's free. You can stand there while the workers are setting up the rope line stay there until they run you away at about 8:30 when they open. And in the late evening is also a good time.
If you visit early, you are able to get very nice pictures in the front and you won't have to pay. I recommend 6am ish, we had great lighting and even if there was a small crowd you just wait your turn and can get good pictures without waiting too long. I think they clean the fountain on monday and friday mornings so avoid those days. Another thing to note is that I never felt like I was at risk with pickpockets. There was always enough room and no one was acting strange.
This was our first stop in Rome and to be honest it was the worst. The fountain itself is large and beautiful, but the mass and rows of tourists pushing to get their selfies and willing to stand in line and pay 2 Euros to get a selfie left a bad taste in my mouth. I refused to pay the 2 Euros and stand in the long line to get a self indulgent picture. Although Trevi fountain wide and impressive, I liked the 1651 Baroque Four Rivers (Fontana dei Quattro Fiumi) by Bernini at is at Piazza Navona better. One of those River Gods had some impressive, muscular thighs. 8-)
Beautiful fountain, can get very busy. They charge you now to be able to toss a coin, but it is free before 8 am! Luckily our hotel was nearby, so we were able to avoid the large crowds.
You can't visit Rome without stopping by the Trevi Fountain. You must queue and pay a small fee to get up close, but I was able to get a satisfactory photo from behind all the crowds. Beware that the area gets very crowded and make sure to watch out for pickpockets.
Fontana di Trevi aka Trevi Fountain in english is one of the famous and iconic spots in Rome. Also considered the largest Baroque fountain in the city. As per google and AI - Legend has it that throwing one coin (right hand over left shoulder) guarantees a return to Rome, two coins mean finding love, and three coins signify marriage. I did throw one coin on my last visit so might or will definitely go back. Rome is one of the places I can definitely go back over and over. Rules are changing for this iconic fountain, so better check for information. Last December, we went there at night time and no lines or queues to get to the very front. In the other occasions that we've been there, it was super crowded and we just stayed outside of the rails. Hubby and I planned to go there in the early morning minus the crowd but never got to do it lol. Maybe next time. Definitely impressive, definitely crowded so be prepared and be patient because it's simply a must see! January 2026
Trevi Fountain is a large Baroque fountain is known for its detailed sculptural composition, dramatic water flow, and dense crowds gathered in the small piazza surrounding it. The fountain sits embedded into the facade of a building, creating a stage like setting where the architecture and water structure feel tightly integrated into the urban environment. The fountain itself is highly detailed, with layered stone figures and strong water movement that draws attention immediately toward the center. The viewing area is limited by surrounding barriers and the narrow square, which creates a constant flow of people shifting positions to get a better view or photo. I found myself squeezing between groups just to find a clear sightline. The experience changes depending on timing and access. At busier times, like when I visited, the space felt compressed with limited room to pause directly in front of the fountain. There is also a regulated lower viewing area that requires a small entry fee. I decided to pay it, and that brought me closer to the base of the fountain, changing the perspective of the sculptures and water completely. From down there, the details in the stonework and the force of the water felt much more immediate. Early or late visits shift the atmosphere noticeably. I imagine with fewer people, the fountain would allow for a quieter, more reflective view of the structure.
Another must do when in Rome. I was lucky enough to come here a few times during my visit in Rome This is one of the most famous fountains in the world, the architecture is amazing. I am so grateful I got to come here and see this beauty The Trevi Fountain (Italian: Fontana di Trevi) is an 18th-century fountain in the Trevi district in Rome, Italy, designed by Italian architect Nicola Salvi and completed by Giuseppe Pannini in 1762 and several others. Standing 26.3 metres (86 ft) high and 49.15 metres (161.3 ft) wide,[2] it is the largest Baroque fountain in the city
Ugh... a true expectations versus reality moment... The Fontana di Trevi, or Trevi Fountain, brings millions of visitors to Rome every year, including my boyfriend and me. Imagination - Super romantic picture, throwing coins into the fountain, making wishes blah blah blah ... love... Reality - Crowds and crowds of shoving inconsiderate people BUMPING INTO YOU FROM EVERY DIRECTION. You somewhat get in a line-like queue to get towards the front... but there's always rude shameless people who cut in. Sigh. It was SO STRESSFUL. The photo we tried to take even has people's elbows and stuff creeping into the photo. My sweet boyfriend had euros set aside for me to make my wish and he was willing to ensure the crazy longer line to get closer so I can fulfill my dreams but I was so over it I'm like let's go. - I don't need to wish to come back to Rome. #sorrynotsorry If I had to squeeze out something nice to say... ugh... I'm glad that the coins that are tossed in the fountain goes to local charities.. .. .. I would have happily donated but THIS WAS TOO CHAOTIC!! If you look at my picture you can tell it's a fake smile cause I can't even with this place. This is one of those things where... ... I would rather go to the Vegas replica in Ceasar's Palace.
I was in town to run the Rome Marathon. Of course, this was a must visit landmark. I got here at just after 8 am on a Friday morning and there was already a bunch of people here. I took a few photos before tossing 3 coins into the fountain. The tradition was to hold the coins in your right hand and toss them over your left shoulder. 1 coin was to return to Rome, 2 was for romance, and 3 was for marriage.
There's a reason everyone wants to visit the Trevi Fountain, and it's quickly evident why as soon as you see it in person. It's completely magnificent and majestic. We saw it both at night and during the day, and each time brought with it a different kind of beauty. We were here in the winter, so the crowds were significantly smaller during the day. And when we came early in the morning, there were only a handful of people there, and it was like we had the entire fountain to ourselves. They were charging the €2 euro yet for the lower access while we were there, but having seen the Trevi up close, I'd definitely recommend paying to get that much closer. read more

One of the absolute highlights of my trip! It was very busy when I visited in the afternoon, but I was expecting that. Even so, I decided to pay the €2 to access the lower section of the fountain -- and I'm so glad I did. The queue moved quickly, and once I saw the fountain up close, I was completely in awe. At that point, the €2 felt like nothing at all. I also went back another morning at 6 am, and it was a completely different experience. There were only a handful of people around, the sunrise was beautiful, and the atmosphere felt calm and magical. With no staff present, people were simply moving the fences to walk down closer to the fountain. I would highly recommend visiting -- it's easily one of the most beautiful things I have ever seen. read more

After all these years, it was nice to come back back & see this amazing fountain again. I can do without the crowds but unless u are here at the crack of dawn or late night I don't see how u can avoid the crowds. Beautiful fountain, well kept for sure one of those things that u should take the time to see while visiting Roma. read more

The Trevi Fountain is a must see landmark in Rome. Incredibly stunning and also incredibly disorganized. Because of its popularity it's always crowded which makes it difficult to not only get close but see much of anything. The line to get closer and toss a coin is a mess. Recommendation is ultimately to go early in the morning or late at night to enjoy the view with fewer people. read more

CROWDED, chaotic, but BEAUTIFUL! Lol. You'll be glad you when. It's crazy because people just except for you to move for their photo op!!!! Maybe I just want to take in the view and enjoy a moment...... They do not care. Take your moment, don't worry about those folks. Lol. read more
Trevi fountain is beautiful and exactly as you see in movies and pictures, but so crowded. If you want to get close to the fountain, there's a small 2 EUR fee per person. There's staff guiding and making sure you don't sit or stand on the fountain ledge. They did a great job with crowd control. read more

Trevi Fountain is easily one of my favorite places in all of Rome! No matter how many times I've visited, it still stops me in my tracks. The sound of the rushing water, the glow of the marble & the way the whole piazza seems to open up around it is just magical! Fontana di Trevi is gorgeous at any hour of the day! We went early-ish on a Sunday morning, hoping to miss some of the crowds & long lines to get close to the fountain. It worked & the security guys were keeping close tabs on the number of visitors they let in. We scored some awesome photos! In previous visits, arriving just before sunset, when the light softens & the fountain begins to sparkle, is pure magic. Even with the crowds (which truly feel like part of the experience), there's an undeniable sense of wonder. And yes, tossing a coin over your left shoulder might feel a little touristy but I can't help it! Hubby did a video for a friend who traveled with us but was unable to make it to Trevi before she flew home. I did it & fingers crossed for Trevi wishes to come true! There are fountains all over Rome but Trevi Fountain has a way of pulling you in & making you feel connected to something ancient, beautiful & larger than life. It's the one spot I always make time for when in Rome & each visit is as enchanting as the first. Even hubby, who wasn't on #TeamTrevi before the visit, heartily concurred. read more
This is a great place to visit in Rome as there is no admission fee, completely free. There is a long line to stand in but I think I got through in maybe 30 minutes. The best times to see with no lines are early in the morning or late at night. This has great architecture and and it a nice fountain with sculptures. A must see when in Rome. read more
This was on one of "my must see places in Rome" list. Easy to find and can get pretty crowded. There's some popular gelato and croissant spots nearby too. It is beautiful and I didn't even imagine how big the fountain was (and detailed too). Don't forget to throw your coins in to return back to Rome one day.

The Trevi Fountain is a phenomenal place to visit. Full of shops, restaurants, Gelaterias and even pharmacies. The Fountain itself is magical. The last time I was here, it was a free for all. Completely full of crowds in a balled mess. That was in 2019. This time, there was a ton of police with specific areas for proper entrance and egress into lines to view the fountain. Although this absolutely stunning fountain is in the middle of an area filled with stores, you still feel the 17th-century Baroque magnificence. It is said you should go early in the day or late at night. We were there around 7pm and the crowds were manageable. I absolutely recommend getting a gelato and people watching. Just keep an eye out for pickpockets, and you'll be fine. I love Italy, I'll definitely go back and most likely visit this stunning fountain again. I recommend you do the same. read more
Crowded most of the time during the daytime and had a line to go closer to the fountain. However when you come at night about an hour before closing the crowd and the line is gone and its much better to take pictures and to enjoy the view. The view is majestic and the architecture is full of details and its surprising that it was done centuries ago... Definitely worth coming to this place! read more

Second time here and still amazing as ever! Went a couple times this visit too because our hotel was like 15 min walk away so why not? It looks insane with people but honestly the line to get in which is on the other side moves fairly quick and you get plenty of time there And yes when throwing a coin do it backwards and other the right shoulder I believe It's how I did it lol Open to public and free and just a site to behold! read more
The Trevi Fountain in Rome is a must-see for any tourist. As one of the most iconic landmarks in the city, its grand Baroque design and stunning marble sculptures it will absolutely leave you in awe. Legend has it that if you toss a coin into the water, you're guaranteed to return to Rome someday. If you want a more peaceful experience, aim for an early visit as we arrived around 6 AM ( we did it on Monday where it's closed from 8 AM and onwards on certain alternate Mondays for cleaning and coin collection so make sure you check the timetable prior to planning your trip) and there were only a few people, making it easy to appreciate the fountain's beauty without the usual crowds and grabbing a few pictures. By evening, though, it was a completely different scene as the area was packed, almost like a bustling market, with tourists and vendors everywhere. The fountain is beautifully lit at night, making it even more magical, but be prepared for the crowds. Whether early or late, it's definitely worth the visit. Afterward, you can stroll around the nearby cafes (after our AM visit to the fountain we had our breakfast at the Trevi cafe) and shops to soak in the Roman atmosphere. Just don't forget to have your camera ready! read more
The fountain is one of the most famous fountains in the world. It's a must if you're in Rome. In the center, stands the statue of the titan Oceanus. From 9 a.m. to 9 p.m., visits are regulated. There is a queue with the maximum number of around 400 people at the same time that can be at the fountain. Free access after 9 p.m. Make sure you don't come when they are closed due to coin collection or cleaning. We came here around 8:30pm as they were putting away the barriers, and it was way crowded. I didn't want to push into the crowds, so I wasn't able to throw any coins. If you can't make it here, there's always the one in Caesars Palace, Las Vegas... read more

Leave it to the Romans to turn plumbing into theater. The largest baroque fountain in the world, Trevi is the fanciest wishing well where you pay €1 and you get to fight the other tourists while Neptune judges you for how close you can actually get. It's just one of those touristy spots in Rome that you gotta do. read more
The Trevi Fountain is truly imposing and absolutely worth seeing in person. One thing to keep in mind is the massive crowds, which are present at almost any time of day. I recommend visiting in the morning, as late afternoon and evening tend to be especially crowded, making it more difficult to take photos or enjoy the fountain peacefully. read more
Life was seeming ordinary, so I wanted to see something extraordinary. This is where I landed. The view was immediately beautiful. My significant other and I approached a sign that stated FONTANA DI TREVI. It also stated TREVI FOUNTAIN. It indicated ENTRATA . We waited in line. This attraction was free. The line went by fast. The view up close was far more beautiful than the initial view. It was nice to take in at first. It would have been better if the crowd was lower. I still enjoyed it. The service was good. I didn't have any issues. Overall, it was definitely worth the stop. I might go again in the future if the crowd is lower. Date of visit: March 22, 2025 read more

Magnificent fountain to see in person. Pictures and videos simply do not do it justice. What's even more amazing is that you see the crowds before you see the fountain. It's just a building on one side and then you turn 90 degrees and there it is in all of its glory. Tips 1. Be aware of your surroundings. When you go to visit keep your belongings in front of you or in zipped pockets. 2. There are two lines that descend into the fountain area. Pick one and commit 3. Once you descend into the fountain area do not stop on the stops going down. The guys with the whistles will berate you in multiple languages. 4. Do not step into the fountain 5. The best way to toss a coin is to the left of the fountain. No crowds and the viewing is actually better. 6. Do not hail a cab / taxi from the Trevi. They will be waiting with a surcharge already tacked on. Order on the Uber app. Or walk a couple of blocks down and then order the taxi. 7. The gelato / pasty shop next to the fountain on the left is okay but it's a tourist trap with raised prices. Overall, stunning fountain to see in person. I would love to see it at night or early morning. read more
Beautiful fountain. A must see when visiting Rome. It located close to the Pantheon and can easily be done together before noon. The beautiful fountain is located between a few different narrow alley ways. Be ready for tightly packed crowds trying to view it and take pictures. Somehow we were lucky enough to arrive where there was an opening on the rail. Didn't stay too long too busy. Heard it's best to visit or read more

As a tourist attraction, the fountain is a must see/visit but this is the 25 year jubilee so there were a gazillion people crowded around, including pickpockets and beggars. The marble is gorgeous and the statuary is spectacular. read more
