First Return to the Trevi Fountain

Visiting the Trevi Fountain or in Italian, Fontana di Trevi was breathtaking. The Trevi Fountain may be a tourist trap during the day and early evening but late at night (between 1am-6am) visitors can have the fountain almost completely to themselves. Guards watch the fountain 24/7 so it is still safe to visit at night. The area between the Spanish Steps and the Trevi Fountain is filled with great upscale shopping and dining.
When I traveled with my family to Europe at age 14 we visited the Trevi Fountain together. Legend has it that if you throw a coin into the Trevi Fountain you will return to Rome again someday. Legend proved to be correct- and of course I threw another coin in this time around!

Ciao for Now!
