Rome Proposes Entrance Fee for Trevi Fountain to Curb Overcrowding

City officials suggest a €2 charge and reservation system to manage tourist influx and protect the historic site.

The fee aims to reduce the number of visitors and prevent damage to the fountain and surrounding area.
Mayor Roberto Gualtieri supports the proposal, which needs City Council approval.
Tourists would need to make reservations and pay the fee to access the fountain's steps, while viewing from a distance remains free.
Residents of Rome would be exempt from the fee.
The system is expected to be tested in time for the 2025 Jubilee Holy Year.
