Why we recommend it
Designed by Nicola Salvi and completed by Giuseppe Pannini in 1762, the Trevi Fountain fills a small square with sculpted figures of Oceanus, tritons and sea horses against the back of Palazzo Poli. Tradition says tossing a coin over your shoulder guarantees a return to Rome, and the coins collected are passed to the Caritas charity.
Since February 2026 tourists and non-residents need a 2-euro ticket to enter the basin area closest to the monument, with access managed between 9:00 and 22:00; tickets can be bought online, at tourist infopoints or by card at the entrance. Children under five and Rome residents are exempt. For a calmer view, come early in the morning or late at night, when access to the basin is free.
