Making your way to the Trevi Fountain

From Piazza del Cinquecento, in front of the central train station in Rome, begin traveling to the Trevi Fountain by making a left onto Via L. Einaudi. Once you reach Piazza della Repubblica continue walking through Via E. Orlando. The Santa Maria della Vittorio church is on the corner of the street where you will turn left onto Via XX Settembre. Next, make a right when you see the road sign which reads Via d. Quattro Fontana. There will be another church on the left across the street if you are not able to locate a road sign. After coming to the Fontana del Tritone, make a left onto Via del Tritone. When you reach Palazzo Poli turn left onto Via Poli. If you see the church of Santa Maria in Via on Via del Tritone then you have missed Via Poli by walking to far. Immediately after turnig onto Via Poli you should see the large marble fountain.

Tourist are crowding the area around the fountain, snapping pictures of the elaborate statues which are standing above the clear, flowing water. The statues represent Neptune and two tritons on his sides. Local residents usually sit around the space while trying to relax and read their books. The fountain is surrounded by tiny shops filled with Italia merchandise shops and small cafés. The area is generally noisy during most times of the day. Shinning coins lay at the bottom of the water from those who have thrown the euros over their shoulder as they made a wish.
