Toss a Coin in the Trevi Fountain? That’ll Be 2 Euros, Wish Not Included

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.

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.
