Optimal Timing for Crowds
To avoid the dense 2026 tourist surges, arrive before 8:00 AM or after 11:00 PM. The morning light hits the Travertine stone beautifully for photography.

Explore the Vicus Caprarius
Head underground to the "City of Water" (Vicus Caprarius) to see the archaeological excavations of the Roman imperial building and the ancient aqueduct that still feeds the fountain.
