Piazza Navona is one of my favorite places I visited in Rome recently. The fountain of the four rivers is absolutely beautiful. You can't find a better place for people watching. There were all kinds of artists drawing and painting and vendors selling everything from tacky souvenirs to true treasures and beautiful jewelry. Lots of restaurants in the area for... More

As a photography enthusiast, I had a grand time shooting different parts of the piazza. Lots of street performers, vendors, and photogenic cafes. To top it all, of course, is Bernini's fountain and the church at the center. A good place to do people watching as well!

The Fountain of Four Rivers is awesome! Especially at night. Dinner costs more there, but the view is great. If dinner is too expensive, then just get a gelato.

After a day long strolling through Rome, visiting churches, typical small shopping streets and everything else Rome has to offer, Piazza Navona is the place to sit down, have a glass of wine and enjoy people walking by. Do not forget to visit the beautiful church and to walk around Bernini's Four River fountain.

Spectacular central fountain with a couple of smaller fountains at each end of the piazza. I'd give it at least 4 out of 5 if it wasn't spoilt by the traders. The whole square was full of artists selling paintings and prints taking up far too much room and not much use if you don't want to buy any. They... More

I won't go on about the various characteristics of Piazza Navona's cafes and unpleasant hawkers. These themes have been well documented here. Just a couple of tips for the traveller....if jetlag is keeping you awake, or if you are able to get yourself out on the streets of Rome for an early morning walk, get to Piazza Navona by 7.30am...

An abundance of watercolor artists, some of which are very talented. A pleasurable visit. The Piazza is lined with a large number of outdoor restaurants with passable Italian food.

We loved that so many of the vendors sold nativity sets! Adorable stuff, altho a bit expensive. The best part... sweets with Nutella and the fountains. :)

If you want to sit and watch the world go by then this is the place to do it! Full of atmosphere with lots of cafes, restaurants, street entertainers, local artists etc. Highly recommended but a bit pricey!
