Rome's Trevi Fountain to Charge Visitors Starting February 1

Deep News12-20 15:30

To manage increasing tourist numbers, Rome's iconic Trevi Fountain, also known as the "Wishing Well," will introduce an entry fee starting February 1 next year.

Mayor Roberto Gualtieri announced the decision on the 19th, confirming that the Trevi Fountain and five other major landmarks in Rome will charge a €2 admission fee. However, local residents will still enjoy free access.

Completed in 1762 and famously featured in the classic film *Roman Holiday*, the Trevi Fountain draws millions of visitors annually. Traditionally, tourists toss coins into the fountain while making wishes. Over €1 million in coins are retrieved from the fountain each year, all donated to charity.

In 2024, Rome’s municipal government invested hundreds of thousands of euros in renovations, cleaning grime, rust, and limescale from the fountain and surrounding structures. The site reopened in December with crowd control measures to prevent overcrowding.
