Rome's Trevi Fountain Now Has an Entry Fee

Starting February 1, visitors to Rome's famed Trevi Fountain will encounter a new entry requirement. A modest €2 fee will be implemented for tourists seeking a closer look at the iconic Baroque artwork. This measure, announced by Rome Mayor Roberto Gualtieri, is designed to help manage the significant crowds that flock to the 18th-century fountain, which can accommodate no more than 400 people at a time.

The new fee will not apply to Rome's residents, nor to children under five years of age, individuals with disabilities, or their companions. Tourists will still be able to view the fountain from a distance without charge. The initiative is anticipated to reduce the 9 million annual visitors, while also generating an estimated €6 million in revenue.

This fee is part of a broader strategy in Rome to manage tourist access to popular sites. Funds collected from the Trevi Fountain, similar to the coins tossed into it, will be donated to the Caritas Catholic charity. Tourists are advised to budget for potential admission costs at various attractions in the Eternal City.
