It is, without a doubt, one of the greatest tourist attractions in the Eternal City.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Built in the 18th century during the pontificate of Pope Clement XII, tossing a coin into the Trevi Fountain is one of the most popular activities for anyone visiting Rome.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
An estimated 30,000 people visit it every day, but starting in February 2026, each visitor will have to pay in order to enter the area and view it up close.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It seems a bit absurd to me because access is already allowed. Whether you pay or not, you can still see it. The payment is basically just to enter the inner area. The measure would make more sense if access were completely closed off at all four entry points to the nearby businesses.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n For this reason, visitors will still be able to access the square where the fountain is located, but in order to toss a coin, they will need to pay two euros. Cash payments will not be accepted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n And while some consider the measure unnecessary, many visitors are willing to pay.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Yes, I paid because, well, there are so many people that you can\u2019t really take good photos, and the fences they\u2019ve put up appear in them. Now that these fences are there, you can\u2019t see the fountain well. So I paid the two euros to be able to see it from in front of the fence.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n According to Rome\u2019s Tourism Councillor, Alessandro Onorato, the city council expects to raise around six million euros per year with this new measure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Those who do not wish to pay can still access the area for free before 9:00 AM or after 10:00 PM.<\/p>\n\n\n\n We arrived last night and there was no charge because it\u2019s free outside the hours of 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. So there was no problem at all\u2014it wasn\u2019t necessary to pay the two euros.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n Tradition says that if you toss a coin into the fountain, you\u2019re guaranteed to return to the city. And so the question remains: would you be willing to pay two euros to come back and enjoy the Eternal City once again?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" It is, without a doubt, one of the greatest tourist attractions in the Eternal City.
