From January 7th, the Trevi Fountain Will Be Pay-Per-Entry €2 Ticket for Tourists, Free Admission for Locals

A €2 ticket.

That’s what tourists will need to pay starting January 7th to visit the Trevi Fountain, while entrance will remain free for locals.

This decision is expected to bring €20 million to the city’s coffers, according to Corriere della Sera.
For about a year now, the flow of visitors has been regulated, with a maximum limit of 400 people allowed to stay in the area. Starting in January, two separate lines will be organized: one for locals and one for tourists. Those who need to pay will also be able to use credit cards.

The measure, proposed by the Tourism and Major Events Councillor Alessandro Onorato and supported by the municipal administration, is aimed at safeguarding Rome’s largest fountain, the late-Baroque masterpiece by Nicola Salvi. Only in the first six months of this year, the Trevi Fountain recorded more than 5.3 million visitors, surpassing the total number of visitors to the Pantheon in all of 2024 (4,086,947 entries). The funds from the ticket sales are expected to be allocated to improving the tourist services and offerings.
