In the Piazza Navona (a large and popular square) is the Four Rivers Fountain by Bernini. Topped with an Egyptian style obelisk, it has four enormous statues that represent river gods from the four quarters of the world.

One of Rome's iconic squares that hosts a trip of amazing fountains, including the iconic one in the middle featuring four of the planet's great rivers representing one for each continent topped with an obelisk at the centre.
During my visit, it was busy even during the nighttime. Plenty of shops around for souvenirs and to have a taste of that Italian gelato! Great to hang out by the fountains if you're tired of walking. This is a perfect place to just watch life go by.

Bernini's 4 Rivers fountain in the middle of the plaza is breathtaking. The other fountains are also beautiful. Go into the Basilica de St. Agnes for more amazing art.

When in Rome I always made it a point to visit Piazza Navona - the fountains, the hustle and bustle, the street vendors.
This time around I did not visit the corner Restaurant - missed on Pasta alla Carbonara !

Strange to write a review about a place that 40.000 have done it before. But the place is so impressive on the one hand and so charming on the other hand that I cannot ignore it. We were there in the beginning of the year and there were thousands of people (mainly Italians) and it was lovely to be among them.

Having been five years since we were here last did not dampen our enthusiasm or sense of wonder. We did a full walk around once and traversed the piazza twice more and enjoyed every bit of it. Very large piazza with significant fountains and a large baroque church. There are a number of restaurants and a couple of gelaterie around the circumference of the piazza. We did sit in one of the restaurants for an aperitivo and was pleasantly surprised by the food and drink quality. I guess it goes to show just because it is touristy does not mean that the quality is always lower.
Spend time examining the fountains and then grab a little something to people watch or check out the many vendors in the piazza.

The piazza was full of families. There was a merry go-round and carnival like games when we were there a couple days after Christmas. It had a great energy, even late at night!

Does anyone know if I will be able to buy art souvenirs at the Piazza Navona during February?
Not sure if this will be an option due to the cold. I love buying art souvenirs and hope to buy some when I go in Feb 2020

Would imagine when it's cold the same as when it's very hot the street vendors will find shelter one way or another to peddle their goods. Not far from Piazza Navona across the river on the short walk to Castel Sant'Angelo is a collection of covered stalls which appear permanent and we've seen many artworks and other souvenirs available there during our visit.

Can anyone recommend a 4.5 - 5* hotel - preferably a largish hotel rather than small boutique type - walking distance to piazza navona, for 2adults week before X'mas. Also, we have couple of parties which finish 2am just off the piazza; safe to walk back to the hotel at that hour??

Does anyone know how much the street artists charge for a couple caricature please?

I have seen prices going anywhere from EUR15 to EUR70. The important part is to not pay the first asked price. They expect the negotiation, so they give you a high first quote. Always beware of scammers and keep your full attention on when in crowds.

How to go to Best Western plus hotel universo from Piazza navona..most convenient and cheap

Catch a bus back to your hotel.
Leave the Piazza by walking about 200 metres, turning:
Right onto the Corsica Agonale;
Right at the T intersection onto the Piazza Madama which then becomes the Corsica Adel Rinascimento;
The Rinascimento N7 Bus Stop is just before the intersection with Via De Canestrari;
Board the Linea 70 Urbana Bus for a 15 minute ride;
Get off the bus at Viminale (8 stops), just after the National Fountain ;
Walk about 300 metres, turning left into Via Del Viminali;
Then right into Via Principe Amedeo to your hotel.
Enjoy your visit.

Went to the Cafe Domiziano. Touristy but food and service was ok and it was a nice way to watch the world go by with some good buskers, jugglers and the like in the evening. Relax and enjoy!

We saw a video of a spray paint artist in one of the piazzas.
Is there a specific place to see them?
Are they common or rare in Rome?
