Ok you all know this habbit ,
In order to return to Rome , you have to
trow a coin in this famous fountain.
Why am I adding this tips once more...
Simply because I had an expert with me.
Member B-free was for the 3th time in Rome.
It must be a matter of technique?
He does it like this.
He is standing with his back towards the
fountain and trows it with both hands
over his head.
This is also a warning!
Member B-free has got a little coordination
problem thing. When you see him just keep
an eye on that coin and see where
it is heading for. Leave a Comment

 Trevi Fountain by bugalugs
Whenever I have visited the fountain, its always amazing to walk up these tiny narrow streets, when suddenly there right in front of you stands this huge monument/fountain.
It was built in the late 18th century and the water that feeds it comes from one of Rome's ear.liest aquaducts.
Legend has it that it you throw a coin over your shoulder into the fountain then one day you will return.
Its always busy here no matter what time of year and this time was no exception. However it was marred by people constantly pestering us to buy things, from toys to artificial flowers. At first you say no politely but they dont seem to get the drift.
The fountain is situated off the Via De Muratte.
Or coming from the Piazza Barbarini down the Via del Tritone you take a left off that road. Leave a Comment

I have to make this as a general tip as well since I have so much to say about going to the Trevi Fountain.
There is so much things said about the Trevi Fountain. I wondered why. I was kind of sad when I got to the Trevi Fountain because first thing, I dropped my camera at the airport and it wasn't working quite well. Second, I was just by myself and I was missing my family a lot.
As so many tourist spots in Rome, this is one of the crowdest and it is so hard to squeeze in to the fountain. I just walked around looked at the square and stood up at a corner and wrote my travel journal.
I observed that the entrance of the buildings are numbered starting at #90. And, that door number belongs to a boutique/Hotel Trevi. Passing that is door #91 and it has no name on it but it is a small space selling souvenir items. Then there is a bar and a pizzeria. I can't figure out where are the rest of the door numbers as I walked by, I saw door #97 which sells shot glasses, postcards and refrigerator magnets. I thought, I will come back here and buy refrigerator magnets if I see one I like.
Then the next door is Paul & Shark. Paul & Shark? A whale? Or is it a last name. It was kind of a weird name for a store.
Opposite the Boutique/Hotel Trevi is small store that sells Blue ice/shave ice and passed that is the Al Barroga that sells masks. Still, there are no numbers on the store's doors. Then there is the Pizza de Mortadella.
Finally, I saw door #15. This place sells a lot of t-shirts.
Surrounding the fountain itself are different business establishments like the Segatori, a gelateria, Paul & Shark (again?), shoe store, Hotel Fontana, Benatton, a souvenir shop, Angelo, Farmacia and a bar/gelateria - they sell crepes and Chinese food!
I love the feeling that I finally got to Rome. I still can't internalize it at this moment so, I am just cruising along...

 TREVI FOUNTAIN IS VERY

 The beautiful fountain
behind me by Gypsystravels
Immortalized through paintings, engravings, photographs and films (like two of my favorite, 'La Dolce Vita' and 'Three Coins in a Fountain'), it is one of the most beautiful fountains here in Rome.
The fountain was built by Nicola Salvi for Pope Clemente II on a wall of the Palazzo Poli and was completed in 1762. Tradition says that if you throw a coin into the fountain over your left shoulder you will return to Rome again soon. Leave a Comment

 Rome- Trevi Fountain by Sarita76Leave a Comment

 Fontana di Trevi by pili
The fountain is located near the Spain Square and the Navona Square.-
La fuente fue diseñada por Nicola Salvi en el siglo XVIII y se convirtió en mundialmente famosa al aparecer en la pelicula "La Dolce Vita" de Federico Fellini. En el centro de la fuente se encuentra una imágen de Neptuno, Dios del Mar, según la mitología romana.
La fuente se encuentra a pocas cuadras de la Plaza España como así de Plaza Navona.-
It´s a huge fountain, unique for its large size and for its beauty. You should sit there for a while and see the astonished faces of the tourists when they see the fountain. The place where the fountain was built is too small, and because of that, the view of the fountain is even more magnificient.- There is a very nice church, just opposite the fountain – la Santi Vicenzo e Anastasio – that you shoud visit.-
Es una fuente realmente única por su belleza y por su tamaño. Vale la pena sentarse un largo rato a admirarla y fundamentalmente a observar a los turistas que quedan asombrados con semejante obra de arte. El lugar donde esta enclavada es muy pequeño y por ello se realza más su grandiosidad. Hay también, enfrente de la fuente, una iglesia muy bella - la Santi Vicenzo e Anastasio - que también merece una visita.- Leave a Comment

Ok, a typical tourist spot, something I usually am NOT fond of, but in this case... well, it can't be missed. Fontana di Trevi is amazing, a magnificent piece of art. It usually is very crowded all around, so try to grab a spot to sit and relax for a moment. Save up a coin for that place.
Eating a delicious ice-cream of one of the many ice-cream shops around Fontana di Trevi and looking at the beautiful fountain. Leave a Comment

One of the prettiest, not to mention famous, fountains in Rome is Trevi Fountain. One of the reasons you go to Rome is to see the Trevi fountain. We all throw a coin in and then pose to get our picture taken in front of it. Here is my advice......Use your fill flash when taking the picture. Look at the two pictures I have posted for this tip, one turned out great but the other needed the flash. That is me in the middle of the picture, but you can't tell its me because the camera sensor saw all the white from the fountain and set the exposure for that. My husband forgot to turn the flash on, so I came out in heavy shadow. The good thing is the fountain itself turned out beautifully. Remember to compensate and use your flash when photographing anyone against a white background. This will make sure you not only see the monument but the person as well.
One of my fondest memories of Rome is having a picnic lunch, sitting on a bench at the Trevi fountain and watching all the people. It is wonderful to see all their expressions when they see the fountain for the first time. I just sit back and enjoy. Leave a Comment
