Fountain of the Organ show times
The water organ plays every day from 10:30, every two hours. Arrive a few minutes early to get a good spot in front of the fountain.
Good to know before you go
At very busy times entry may be capped and the route may change.
After heavy rain the fountains can be switched off because of the Aniene river flooding. There are also occasional evening openings: check the notices on the official website.
