About
Hurtige fakta: Legend says tossing a coin into the fountain ensures a return visit to Rome, making it a magnet for thousands daily who eagerly participate in the ritual. The water in the basin creates a mesmerizing, soothing sound that adds to the enchanting atmosphere of the square, captivating visitors with its charm and splendor.
Højdepunkter: People toss exactly 3 coins with their right hand over their left shoulder into the water to ensure a return visit; this custom results in over 3,000 euros collected daily, which supports a charity for Rome's needy. The central figure is Oceanus, sculpted with intricate details including horses symbolizing the moods of the sea, making the entire fountain a dramatic oceanic stage carved in white travertine stone.
Insider tips
- Arrive around 7am for the clearest photos and to step close to the balustrade.
- Use the quieter side alleys or Via delle Muratte to frame the fountain with fewer people in shot.
- Toss a coin with your right hand over your left shoulder if you want to follow the tradition, but avoid paid coin-photo services.
- Do not sit or climb on the fountain and keep valuables secure, pickpockets are common in the crowds.
