Trevi Fountain and Spanish Steps Self-Guided Audio Walk: Pincio Gardens and Piazza del Popolo
90 minutes
About this experience
An aqueduct built in 19 BC still brings water into Rome, and this walk follows it upstream. It feeds the Trevi Fountain, it was too weak to make jets at the foot of the Spanish Steps, and it entered the city at the foot of the Pincio hill. Start at Piazza Colonna and its spiral column, step into a painted courtyard, and stand at the Trevi Fountain, where a palace front becomes a cliff of water. Pass Borromini's curving bell tower and reach the sinking-boat fountain in Piazza di Spagna. Climb the Spanish Steps to Trinità dei Monti, pass Villa Medici and cross the Pincio gardens to the obelisk of Antinous and the terrace above Piazza del Popolo, then go down to the square and its two churches that only look like twins. Eleven stops, about 2.4 km and 90 minutes, at your own pace, in English. Entry to the Trevi Fountain's inner area (2 EUR) and Villa Medici's gardens is not included; the view of the fountain is free.
What's included
From Piazza Colonna past the Trevi Fountain, Borromini's tower and the sinking-boat fountain, up the Spanish Steps and through the Pincio gardens to the terrace and Piazza del Popolo.
