Review: Trevi Fountain
Photos
Tell me: What’s this place all about?
Commemorated in countless films, this Baroque masterpiece depicting Neptune atop a chariot pulled by sea horses is certainly the most famous fountain in Rome and perhaps the entire world.
Wow. What’s it like being there?
Unfortunately, the fountain's fame has resulted in crushing crowds, but if you can manage to get past them, it's difficult to leave unimpressed.
Who comes here?
Everyone visits the Trevi Fountain to take selfies and toss a coin into the water, except Romans, who tend to avoid it like the plague.
Did it meet expectations?
Fresh off its $2.4 million restoration courtesy of Fendi, this baroque masterpiece is better than ever.
Got it. So, then, what, or who, do you think it’s best for?
It's a must-stop sight on the first-time visitor's circuit, but repeat visitors might not feel the need to go back.
