La guida di Simona per La Finestra su Fontana di Trevi
Visite turistiche
The Trevi Fountain is the largest and one of the most famous fountains in Rome.
Built on the facade of Palazzo Poli by Nicola Salvi, the competition launched by Pope Clement XII in 1731 was initially won by the French sculptor Lambert-Sigisbert Adam but later the task passed to Salvi: it is said that the change was due to the fact that the pontiff did not want to entrust the work to a foreigner; instead, another version explains that Adam had to return to France.
Begun in 1732, it was completed thirty years later by Giuseppe Pannini; stylistically it belongs to the late Baroque.

Le Guide ai Quartieri
You will be right in the thick of things, where it can feel like "old Rome" if you can find a quiet street.
If you are not staying on the square where the fountain is, or on one of the busier streets leading up to it, you can find some quiet accommodation options if they are on less-trodden back streets.
The closest Metro stop is Barberini, and the fountain itself is about a 5 minute walk from there. There are buses that stop nearby also, but not much transportation other than taxis that can take you right into the Trevi Fountain neighborhood.
This is a very central Rome neighborhood and you can walk to almost all the sites from here.
Being so central, it's a safe area, although watch for pickpockets when you are on the crowded streets.
There are quite a few good restaurants nearby and plenty more closer to the nearby Pantheon/Piazza Navona area.
