Overview
Take a trip to Trevi Fountain on your Italy Vacation
Oh, to be proposed to at the Trevi Fountain! Rome's most beautiful fountain is also its most romantic. Built in the 18th century under Pope Nicholas V, the fountain is located at the meeting point of three streets (Tre Vie means three ways) in the city centre. It is a stunning structure built in baroque style, and at 66 ft (20 m) in width and 85 ft (25 M) in height, unmissable during a stroll of the city.
The fountain is a premier tourist attraction. There are always people taking photos near it and throwing coins in it. According to popular myth, if you throw one coin in the Trevi Fountain, you will return to Rome; if you throw two coins, true love will come to you; and if you throw three coins, you will marry the person you meet. As a site for surprise proposals, the fountain brings cheer and happy tears. But mind the crowd! The area is thronging with tourists during the afternoons and early evenings. Early morning is the best time to visit, followed by late evening.

EuroWhat do the experts say?
Italy is full of hidden culinary gems, but one place that really stands out is Trattoria di Via Serra in Bologna. It’s beloved by locals for its authentic Emilian dishes like handmade tortellini in brodo and rich tagliatelle al ragù
One unforgettable tradition travelers should try to experience is a sagra—a local food festival that celebrates a specific dish, ingredient, or harvest. These are often held in small towns, especially in the summer and fall, and they offer an amazing window into real Italian life
Italy is not just Rome, Venice, Florence and Amalfi Coast... Every region or small town has its own history, art, traditions, culture, peculiarity
Most tourists don’t realize just how deeply regional Italy is. Not just in terms of food, but also in language, traditions, and identity. Italian culture is really a patchwork of local cultures
