Starting February 1, 2026, Rome will implement a €2 fee for non-residents to access the basin area of the Trevi Fountain. The decision, announced by Mayor Roberto Gualtieri, follows a year of limiting access to manage crowding at the popular tourist site. The fee aims to help cover the costs of maintaining Rome's monuments. Tickets will be available online, through apps, and at select hotels and establishments. Officials state that the view of the fountain will not be obstructed, and Roman residents are exempt from the fee. Approximately nine million people have visited the restricted area of the fountain in the past year.
