Tourists in Italy’s capital Rome will soon have to pay a €2 (£1.75; $2.34) entrance fee if they want to see its famed Trevi Fountain up close.
The new barrier for visitors to view the Baroque monument will come into force from 1 February 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.
Announcing the move on Friday, Rome’s Mayor Roberto Gualtieri was quote by news agency Reuters as saying that “two euros isn’t very much … and it will lead to less chaotic tourist flows”.
