This is one of Rome's best people-watching spots. Come in the morning, come back in the afternoon, and come once again in the evening. It will be a different experience each time. Don't forget to fill up your water bottle at the aquifer-fed drinking fountain to the right. That's almost as important as throwing a coin in the fountain!

I could not have selected a more romantic place to propose to my Fiance. I proposed at the Trevi Fountain on July 3rd 2009.

This is one of the places in which all tours will take you. It is a beautiful work of art and is attached to the back of a palace. It is easily audible from a distance and the contrast of the shabby neighbouring streets to the small square of the fountain is great. In fact you suddenly pop infront of it. The main problem is the large crowds that are worse during the night that group there. Watch out for your wallets, but throw a coin for good luck :)
Just combine the trip with an ice cream and visit the Pantheon / Piazza di Spagna nearby.

I was surprised that the square where the fountain is located is much smaller then I had thought, it's very crowded, but definetely worth the visit. Just be sure to watch for pickpockets, we had no problems with any but we were careful to keep our hands over our wallets and cameras just in case.
