Rome water fountain map

Rome has more than 2,500 public drinking fountains — the cast-iron "nasoni". The map sorts them by real distance from where you are, so you always know the nearest refill.

Short answer

Rome's nasoni pour free, cold, drinkable tap water 24 hours a day. Open the map, walk to the closest one and refill your bottle — there is nothing to pay and no app to install.

  • 2,500+ fountains across the city
  • Free and running 24/7, all year
  • Same water as the taps: safe to drink

Is Rome's tap water safe?

Yes. Nasoni are fed by the same aqueducts as household taps and are tested by the city water utility. The water runs continuously, which keeps it cool and fresh even in August. A family of four refilling bottles instead of buying them saves roughly €5–8 every day of a trip.

How to drink from a nasone

  1. 1. Fill from the spout. Hold your bottle under the curved iron pipe — that's where the "big nose" name comes from.
  2. 2. Block the spout to drink. Press a finger over the opening: water jets up from the small hole on top, like a drinking fountain.
  3. 3. Skip decorative fountains. Monumental fountains such as Trevi are not for drinking; look for the plain grey iron posts instead.
