Trevi Fountain, from Monday 2 euro ticket for tourists. The Campidoglio will collect 6.5 million a year

After the Pantheon, comes the ticket also for Fontana di Trevi: from Monday 2 February, announces the Campidoglio, "a ticket will come into force for tourists and non-residents, which will allow access to the inner perimeter of the monument at a cost of 2 euro (the price is also in force on the first Sunday of the month)". The novelty will not affect Romans: residents in the capital and in the Metropolitan City "will be able to enter free of charge on presentation of an identity document".

In detail: for restricted access to the area facing the basin of the most famous of the Roman fountains, tourists and non-residents will have to pay 2 euro "Monday and Friday from 11.30 am to 10 pm, the remaining days of the week from 9 am to 10 pm. Exceptionally, on Monday 2 February, on the first day of opening, the hours will be from 9am to 10pm,' the Campidoglio explains. In addition to residents, access to the monument 'will also be free of charge for people with disabilities and their carers, children under the age of 6, and tourist guides. It should also be noted that after the daily closure at 10 p.m., the fountain will remain visible to everyone free of charge'.

The novelty, explains the municipality, comes after a one-year trial period (from December 2024 to December 2025) with monitoring activities on the influxes: a period in which visitors to the fountain that was the setting for the most famous scene of Fellini's La Dolce Vita were more than 10 million with about 30 thousand accesses per day and peaks of 70 thousand. The aim is to "counteract overcrowding, improve the visiting experience and protect one of the city's best-loved monuments, whose preservation will now be decisively supported by the new access fee". "With the two-euro ticket," said the mayor of Rome Roberto Gualtieri at the end of December, "we estimate revenues of about 6.5 million euro per year.
