Trevi Fountain

Fountain Rome, Latium, Italy

What to expect

The Trevi Fountain is one of the most famous and visited fountains in Rome. The statue in the center represents the Greek deity Oceanus on a triumphal chariot pulled by two horses, one calm, the other agitated to indicate the dual nature of the sea. On the sides, the goddess of Salubrity holds a cup from which a snake drinks and the goddess of Abundance with a horn full of fruit, a symbol of wealth. An evocative and romantic place, the Trevi Fountain is known for one of the most famous scenes of the film 'La Dolce Vita' by Federico Fellini. With your back to the fountain, you must remember to throw a coin and make a wish that you’ll return to Rome! A tradition respected by tourists who line up to throw their coin and take a souvenir photo. The fountain is also the largest Baroque fountain in the city and one of the most famous fountains in the world, measuring 26.3 meters high and 49 meters wide. The Trevi Fountain is a must-see destination for families, offering a unique and unforgettable experience
