4.3 ·

Discover the Trevi Fountain beyond the postcard photo. Join a guided visit above the Baroque masterpiece, then descend into the ancient Roman aqueduct and ruins hidden beneath it.

✨

Reasons to go

  • The fountain is fed by the Aqua Virgo, an aqueduct dating back to ancient Roman times
  • The underground tour reveals ruins of the ancient water system beneath the 18th-century Baroque fountain
  • Tradition holds that tossing a coin over your shoulder into the fountain guarantees a return to Rome

Full description

Above ground, the Trevi is Rome's most theatrical fountain, an 18th-century Baroque set-piece fed by an aqueduct with roots in antiquity; below ground, the tour descends into the remains of that ancient water system and ruins connected to the fountain's origins, a side of the site most visitors never see. Combining both gives context to the fountain that a quick photo stop misses entirely.

With a perfect aesthetic score, it's a strong pick for visitors who want a deeper story behind an image they've already seen a thousand times.

Good to know

  • Visit the fountain itself either very early morning or right after this tour, since the plaza is one of the most crowded spots in Rome by midday
  • bring a coin to toss over your shoulder into the fountain, following the tradition said to guarantee a return to Rome
  • wear layers, as the underground sections can be noticeably cooler than the street above.

Reviews

I enjoyed seeing the underground remains, although the Trevi Fountain itself was extremely crowded. For me, the underground section was the most interesting part.
