Overview
- Close-up access to the Trevi Fountain will require a €2 ticket, with distant viewing remaining free for all and free entry preserved for Rome residents.
- The policy takes effect on February 1, 2026 and adds €5 entry at the Villa of Maxence, the Napoleonic Museum of Rome, the Giovanni Barracco Museum, the Carlo Bilotti Museum and the Pietro Canonica Museum.
- City hall estimates the Trevi fee could generate about €6.5 million per year and frames the ticketing as a tool to manage flows and improve safety.
- Officials report roughly nine million visitors to the fountain area between January 1 and December 8—about 30,000 per day—after earlier steps to cap simultaneous presence at 400 people.
- Authorities say coins collected weekly from the fountain total thousands of euros that go to the charity Caritas, as Rome aligns with wider European crowd-control charges at top attractions.
