Tourists to pay 2 euros to get to Rome’s Trevi Fountain

Tourists in Italy’s capital Rome will soon have to pay a €2 ($2.34) entrance fee if they want to see its famed Trevi Fountain up close, the BBC writes.

The new barrier for visitors to view the Baroque monument will come into force from Feb. 1, 2026.

While the coins tossed into the fountain are donated to charity, the fees collected will go to the city authority to pay for upkeep and managing visitors. The city expects to raise €6.5m a year from the fountain alone.
