Rome, Italy, will introduce a €2 entrance fee for visitors seeking close access to the Trevi Fountain.
This new policy is scheduled to take effect on February 1, 2026.
The Trevi Fountain is a notable tourist attraction in Rome, receiving approximately nine million visitors annually.
Funds collected from this fee will be directed to the city authority for the monument's maintenance and the management of visitor flows. The city projects an annual revenue of €6.5 million from the fountain through this charge. Historically, coins tossed into the fountain are allocated to charitable organizations.
Rome's Mayor, Roberto Gualtieri, commented on the new fee, stating, "two euros isn't very much ... and it will lead to less chaotic tourist flows." This statement was reported by the news agency Reuters.
