The Trevi Fountain will introduce a 2 euro tax for tourists, starting from February 1, for the management of tourism and the protection of heritage.

Tourists who want to approach the Fontana di Trevi will have to pay an entrance fee of 2 euros, starting from February 1st. This measure, announced by the mayor of Rome, Roberto Gualtieri, is part of a broader policy to regulate tourist flows and preserve cultural heritage. Access to the area around the fountain, where visitors traditionally throw coins to make wishes, will be reserved for ticket holders, sold daily between 9:00 AM and 10:00 PM. Piazza di Trevi remains freely accessible, and the measure aims to limit overcrowding, which can reach 30,000 visitors per day, posing risks to the monument. Exceptions to the fee apply to residents of Rome, children under 5 years old, and people with disabilities. This initiative is part of a larger plan for managing tourism in Rome, which will also include other historical sites. The administration estimates that the new system could generate approximately 6.5 million euros annually for the maintenance of the sites.
