Rome to Charge Tourists €2 to Visit Trevi Fountain Up Close from 2026
December 20, 2025
Tourists visiting Rome will soon pay a €2 fee to get close to the world-famous Trevi Fountain. This fee will begin on February 1, 2026. The city expects to collect about €6.5 million a year from the charges. Mayor Roberto Gualtieri said, "Two euros isn't very much ... and it will lead to less chaotic tourist flows." The money will help maintain the fountain and manage visitors better. Coins thrown into the fountain still go to charity, but entrance fees will go to city upkeep. Along with the Trevi Fountain, other spots like the Napoleonic Museum will also charge tourists, while Rome residents get free access to some sites, such as the Sacred Area of Largo Argentina. Children under five, people with disabilities, and their companions will not have to pay. Visitors can still see the fountain from a distance for free. Currently, roughly 30,000 people visit the fountain daily. Since its restoration last year, access has been limited to 400 people at a time to control crowds.
