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! read more

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-) read more

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. read more

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 read more

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. read more

One of those things you just have to do, and it holds up. The fountain itself is genuinely spectacular up close, bigger and more detailed than pictures do it justice, and seeing it in person is worth the chaos that surrounds it. And there is chaos: the piazza is packed at pretty much any hour of the day, so go in prepared for a crowd rather than hoping to find a quiet moment. You can pay a small fee to get down to the basin level for a closer look, and the line to do so can be long during peak hours. We found that arriving just before dinnertime cut the wait considerably; most of the daytime crowds had thinned out and we were through quickly. If your schedule has any flexibility, that window is worth targeting. The view from the piazza above is free and still solid, and getting down to the edge is not required, but a neat bonus. 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

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 read more

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. 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

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

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

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

Although the Trevi Fountain was "under construction" when I was there, I still want to leave a review about my experience. There was scaffolding, literally, surrounding the fountain. But, I was ecstatic, simply because I was there, (in the flesh) to witness it. Looking to the left and right only added to the beautiful architectural views within my reach. The crowds still gathered in droves, peeking to see if there was anything to capture, despite the fountain's covering. Something about that moment stuck with me, it lingered in the passing minutes, hours, and days. One thing is for sure, I must return for a repeat visit. 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

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 Trevi Fountain is pretty new by Roman standards, completed in 1762, only fourteen years before my country became a country. There was an earlier fountain, connected to the aqueduct that still carries water to the Trevi Fountain today, but a pope deemed it "insufficiently dramatic" (per Wikipedia) and started the process of replacing it with perhaps the most dramatic fountain in the world. We went to Rome off season, in mid-November, and had a wonderful time sightseeing, as places like the Vatican and the Colosseum were calm and easy to visit. Trevi Fountain was, by far, the most crowded attraction we saw, crawling with tourists the first time we went, on an unexpectedly balmy Sunday afternoon. It was so hectic that I'm not sure we really took it in, grabbing our obligatory selfie then shuffling on out. As luck would have it, though, we found ourselves in the area later in the week, on a cold, rainy Friday night. Our walk to and from dinner took us right by the fountain, and we stopped by in both directions just to look at it again. The fountain was exceedingly beautiful, a genuine marvel of Baroque architecture, and I'm glad we got to admire it with a thinner crowd. The nighttime lighting and rain only added to the romance. I wish we'd had coins on us to toss into Trevi fountain, per popular tradition. My husband's parents threw their coins in decades ago, and his mother successfully married an Italian. Now that I think of it, though, so did I. And coins or no coins, I know I'll be back to Rome. 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

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

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 was a bit disappointed when I first saw the Trevi Fountain in person some 30 years ago. It's literally built into the exterior wall of a building, and smaller than what i had expected. I got over this feeling quickly. This is the largest Baroque fountain in Rome Yes, it can get crowded with tourists, but it is wonderful to see and enjoy. We do ... every trip to Rome .... especially love seeing it after dark. I highly recommend including the Trevi Fountain when in Rome ... and don't forget to toss a coin into the fountain. 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

Saw the Trevi Fountain at night and it was just as magical as everyone says. Yes, it was crowded (no surprise there) and there was a bit of a wait to get down to the edge, but totally worth it. The way it's lit up at night makes it even more stunning. Finally made it to the front, tossed my coin in (because of course), and just took a minute to soak it all in. Such a cool moment. Definitely one of those must-do things in Rome-even if you're sharing it with a few hundred other people. read more

This is an over hyped tourist trap. There's not much to see, it's just a fountain with running water and ornate statues. When we went, the fountain wasn't even running, and it was under construction. Even with that it was still overly crowded with people and scammers, trying to sell trinkets and garbage. We didn't stay long because it looked like there were pickpockets walking around the area and scoping out the place. It seems shady and it wasn't worth the hype at all. Steer clear. If you really need to check the fountain out, go to one of the local cafés around the fountain, grab a cuppa coffee and a bite to eat and , overlook the balcony. It's the best way to avoid the crowd. read more

I thought Trevi Fountain was lovely!!!! Fortunately, the fountain was not undergoing renovations when we were there and the Police people were not overly correcting people. We, as a family, were able to toss our coins right up front! We didn't stay long, because as everyone else noted, it is packed with people! As is the case with nearly all of Rome, Trevi was packed with tourists and locals hawking stuff - and hawking very aggressively! Overcast day? They are hawking cheap umbrellas. Sunny day? They are hawking cheap sunglasses. Trevi is definitely worth a visit, it is truly a lovely fountain! Just be cautious of your valuables and be prepared for a ginormous crowd! read more

Like many tourists, the Fontana di Trevi was on my list of places to see during my time in Roma - so after we checked into our hotel and made a stop at the Spanish Steps, we continued our exploring and made our way over here. The fountain itself is the largest Baroque statue in Roma, and as I approached it I could see why it's so famous. It's so ornate and grand, almost overwhelming me as I looked at it up close. During our time in the city the fountain was under construction, as such it was devoid of water and they constructed a temporary waking path for us to walk onto to get a closer view of the fountain. Even though I didn't see the fountain in it's full form, it's so beautiful that I almost didn't mind. The piazza that surrounds the fountain is quite small, so during peak times it can get packed and the surrounding businesses cater to tourists (obvi). Overall, not to be missed - it was one of the most beautiful pieces of architecture I saw in Roma. read more

The Trevi Fountain -- half art, half mosh pit, all magic. The Trevi Fountain is proof that Rome doesn't do "subtle." Built in the 1700s, it's basically Poseidon's front yard hot tub -- 85 feet tall, 160 feet wide, covered in statues of sea gods, horses, and enough marble drama to make Broadway jealous. It's extra, it's ridiculous, and it's glorious. You show up expecting a quaint little fountain. Instead? BOOM -- this baroque monster is taking up half a piazza, spitting water like Aquaman went on a bender. And yes, it's packed with tourists all trying to throw coins backward over their shoulders. (Pro tip: one coin = return to Rome, two = find love, three = divorce... seriously, who came up with that system?) Here's the wild part: all those coins? Over €1 million a year, scooped out and donated to charity. It's basically the world's fanciest piggy bank. And somehow, even with the crowd, it's magical. The water sparkles, the marble glows, and for a second you forget that a guy just elbowed you in the ribs to get his selfie. So yes, the Trevi Fountain is crowded, chaotic, and full of people who think "throwing a coin over your shoulder" is a personality trait. But let's be honest -- you'll do it anyway, because if you don't, the Roman gods might personally blacklist you from pasta. And really, who's willing to take that risk? Not me. Bottom line: It's dramatic, it's crowded, it's cliché -- and you'll still love it. Toss a coin, take a photo, fight your way out like Russell Crowe in Gladiator, and admit: Rome nailed this one. read more
