Rome has implemented a €2 fee to access the viewing area of the Trevi Fountain. The new charge, which had previously been free, aims to control tourist numbers and generate revenue for the fountain's maintenance. Located in Rome, Italy, the Trevi Fountain is a popular tourist destination. While some visitors anticipate the fee will improve the viewing experience by reducing overcrowding, others are less enthusiastic but resigned to the added cost. The fee is now in effect for all visitors wishing to access the immediate viewing area of the iconic landmark.
