Trevi Fountain Now Requires a Ticket: What Visitors Need to Know

A New Rule for Visiting the Trevi Fountain

One of Rome’s most famous landmarks, the Trevi Fountain, has introduced a new access system with a ticket during certain hours to better manage the large number of visitors.

Every year millions of travelers visit the Trevi Fountain, making it one of the most crowded places in Rome. To preserve the monument and improve the experience for visitors, local authorities have introduced controlled access to the main viewing area.

How the New Trevi Fountain Ticket Works

Visitors may now need to reserve a time slot and purchase a small entrance ticket to access the area closest to the fountain.

The system was introduced to:

  • reduce overcrowding
  • protect the historic monument
  • improve the visitor experience
  • manage tourist flows in the historic center.

Even with the new system, visitors will still be able to admire the fountain from nearby streets and squares.

Can You Still Throw a Coin in the Trevi Fountain?

Yes! One of Rome’s most beloved traditions continues.

Throwing a coin over your shoulder into the Trevi Fountain is said to guarantee a return trip to Rome. Millions of euros are collected every year from the fountain and donated to charity.

Best Time to Visit the Trevi Fountain

Even with the new ticket system, timing is everything.

The best moments to visit are:

  • early morning (before the crowds arrive)
  • late evening when the fountain is beautifully illuminated.

During our tours we always recommend visiting the Trevi Fountain at quieter moments to fully enjoy its beauty.
