Rome: Piazza del Popolo

WHAT TO SEE
Trevi Fountain
No trip to Rome is complete without a visit to the world-famous Trevi Fountain. Dating back to 16th century, the fountain gets its name from the three roads or “tre vie” that converge at the fountain. Visit the fountain at night for its most beautiful view and make sure to throw a coin over your left shoulder with your right hand before you leave for good luck and to ensure a return visit to Rome.

Originally named after the field of flowers it was built upon, Campo de’ Fiori is now a central hub for commercial and street culture. Visit in the morning to experience a bustling market with fresh food and novelties. Also, stop by and take a picture with the hooded statue of philosopher Giordano Bruno located in the center of the square.
