About
Quick facts: Over 3,000 euros are collected daily from the fountain, all tossed by visitors hoping to return to the city. Water used in the fountain flows from the Aqua Virgo aqueduct, one of ancient Rome's original water sources still operational today.
Highlights: The tradition of tossing a coin with your right hand over your left shoulder to ensure a return here draws about 3,000 coins every day. At night, the fountain is illuminated by 22 LED lights that bring out the detailed sculptures like Neptune's chariot and sea horses dramatically.
Insider tips
- Wear comfortable shoes since the area around is cobblestoned and often crowded.
- Catch a photo with the fountain lit up at night - it creates a magical glow unlike daytime shots.
- Skip the busiest midday crowd by visiting early morning or after sunset.
- Standing slightly to the left gives the best angle for capturing Neptune on his chariot in full view.
