Trevi Fountain

The largest baroque fountain in Rome — completed 1762 by Salvi (and finished by Pannini after his death). Free to visit, always busy.

Visit notes (June 29)

• Go early — before 8am or after 10pm to avoid the crush
• The tradition: stand with your back to the fountain, hold a coin in your right hand, toss it over your left shoulder
  • One coin = you'll return to Rome
  • Two coins = romance with a Roman
  • Three coins = wedding bells
• The coins are collected nightly and donated to charity
• Don't wade in — there's a fine
