Tourists to face €2 fee to get near Rome's Trevi Fountain

AI Summary

short article 2 min

Beginning February 1, 2026, tourists visiting Rome's Trevi Fountain will be required to pay a €2 entrance fee for closer access. The fee aims to manage visitor flow and contribute to the fountain's upkeep, with the city expecting to generate €6.5 million annually. This levy is part of a new tariff system that will make some currently paid sites free for Rome residents, while tourists will pay for the Trevi Fountain and five other attractions. Children under five and people with disabilities are exempt. While distant viewing remains free, the fee is intended to reduce crowding at the popular site, which sees approximately 30,000 visitors daily.
