Visitors to Rome’s Trevi Fountain will soon have to pay to get closer to this iconic landmark.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Starting February 1, 2026<\/strong>, the Italian capital is introducing tickets costing 2 euros for tourists<\/strong> who descend the stairs to the area around the pool, where it is customary to throw a coin into the fountain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Viewing the water masterpiece from the upper square will remain free.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In 2024, the authorities of the Eternal City proposed the idea of implementing a ticketing system at the Trevi Fountain as part of ongoing plans to reduce crowding and promote “sustainable tourism.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The 18th-century fountain has long been a \u201cmust-see\u201d attraction for tourists in the Eternal City. But the site and the area around it are often crowded with tourists.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When will visitors have to pay to get close to the Trevi Fountain?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Tickets will grant prime-time access to the area around the fountain\u2019s basin, which has been fenced off since last year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Authorities claim they have already seen positive results from a year-long experiment. They limited the number of visitors who can get to the fountain\u2019s edge by installing lines and a system of entry and exit paths.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to Rome mayor Roberto Gualtieri, around 9 million people have queued<\/strong> to get a close-up look this year. On some days, up to 70,000 visitors passed through.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

From February, visitors will also have to pay for this access from 9:00 to 21:00<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Early in the morning and after dark, access remains free<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Similarly, Venice introduced paid entry to the city center<\/a><\/strong> during peak days several years ago.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
