Rome’s history isn’t just written above ground—in fact, some of its most fascinating stories unfold beneath the city’s bustling streets. With TPO.Travel’s expertly curated Underground Tour of Trevi Fountain and Navona Square, you get an exclusive glimpse of Rome’s layered past combined with iconic landmarks, all wrapped in the ease, flexibility, and local expertise that TPO.Travel is known for.
Start at the Heart of Rome: Spanish Steps and Bernini’s Barcaccia Fountain
Your journey begins in the lively atmosphere of the Spanish Steps, a historic meeting point and people-watching paradise. Meet your dedicated, knowledgeable guide who will ensure your day flows smoothly and meaningfully.
Just a short walk from here is Bernini’s famous Barcaccia Fountain, a charming and lesser-known marvel that sets the tone for your Roman adventure—a perfect blend of art, history, and the everyday buzz of the city.
Discover the Iconic Trevi Fountain—Like Never Before
From the fountain above ground, the tour takes a fascinating turn underground. With TPO.Travel’s exclusive access, descend into the underground vaults beneath Trevi Fountain to visit the “City of Water”—Vicus Caprarius. This hidden ancient Roman complex offers extraordinary archaeology:
- Walk through ancient Roman residential ruins, water cisterns, and aqueducts.
- Learn how the fountain connects to a sophisticated water supply and drainage system that sustained Rome’s urban life.
- Enjoy the quiet and unique atmosphere that few visitors experience, away from the crowd-packed piazza above.
Your guide’s expert storytelling, paired with TPO.Travel’s easy advance booking and priority access, ensures a relaxed, immersive experience without the typical tourist rush.
Continue to the Pantheon and Piazza della Rotonda
Emerging from beneath the city, stroll to Piazza della Rotonda to admire the world-famous Pantheon. With TPO.Travel’s carefully scheduled timing, you often avoid daytime crowds to enjoy the Pantheon’s soaring dome and oculus in calmer, more contemplative moments. Your guide illuminates the structure’s architectural and spiritual significance, connecting you to nearly two millennia of Roman history.
Experience Piazza Navona’s Grandeur and Underground Secrets
Nearby is the majestic Piazza Navona, celebrated for Bernini’s Fountain of the Four Rivers, lively cafés, street artists, and vibrant Roman life. Your guide will share fascinating anecdotes about the square’s design, history, and the political intrigue embedded in its creation.
But the real surprise awaits 5 meters below the piazza—the ruins of the Stadium of Domitian, the first masonry stadium of Greco-Roman antiquity. Accessible thanks to TPO.Travel’s special arrangements, you will step into underground corridors revealing structures where thousands once gathered for athletic competitions.
