As of today (2 February 2026), the decision to charge an entrance fee for access to the inner area of the Trevi Fountain has come into effect.

The day has arrived when entry to the Trevi Fountain basin becomes paid. In Italy’s capital, Rome, tourists who wish to see the famous Trevi Fountain up close will now be required to pay a €2 entrance fee.

Of course, the fee does not apply to stepping into the square itself, but only to entering the monument’s inner perimeter during specific hours. The measure will be in force on Mondays and Fridays from 11:30 a.m. to 10:00 p.m., and on the remaining days of the week from 9:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m.

The fee applies only to Italian and international tourists. Residents of Rome and the metropolitan area will be entitled to free entry upon presenting valid identification.

Tickets can be purchased through a dedicated website, at all City Museums, Tourist Information Points, participating centers, or directly at the ticket office located on Via della Stamperia.

The ticket system for entering the inner area of the Trevi Fountain was introduced following a one-year trial period during which access was limited through queuing. This allowed authorities to calculate the number of people who approach the fountain each year to take photos or make wishes.

It is estimated that the monument is visited by an average of 30,000 people per day, reaching approximately 10 million visitors annually. This high volume led to the introduction of the €2 fee for all visitors who do not reside in Rome or the metropolitan area.

While the coins thrown into the fountain will continue to be donated to charity, the entrance fees collected will be transferred to the municipality to cover maintenance and visitor management costs. The city expects to generate around €6.5 million per year from this fountain alone.
