Rome’s Trevi Fountain Reopens After Renovation Ahead of 2025 Jubilee Year

The iconic Baroque landmark now features visitor limits and may introduce entry fees to manage crowds during the Holy Year.

  • The Trevi Fountain reopened on December 22, 2024, after a three-month cleaning and restoration project costing 327,000 euros.
  • The restoration removed dirt, pollution, and limescale from the 18th-century Baroque masterpiece, preparing it for the influx of visitors expected during the 2025 Jubilee Holy Year.
  • Visitor access is now capped at 400 people at a time to reduce overcrowding, with plans for online bookings and a potential 2-euro entry fee under consideration.
  • The tradition of tossing coins into the fountain, which generates approximately 1.5 million euros annually for the Catholic charity Caritas, continued during the restoration via a temporary pool.
  • The 2025 Jubilee, declared by Pope Francis, is expected to draw 33 million visitors to Rome, placing significant pressure on the city's infrastructure and cultural sites.
