Rome introduces €2 admission ticket for Trevi Fountain basin.
The new ticketing system was put in place to safeguard and guarantee better upkeep of Rome’s most well known fountain, which is one of the most identifiable sights in the world. Based on a design by architect Nicola Salvi and finished by Giuseppe Pannini, the Trevi Fountain was built between 1732 and 1762.
The official website, Civic Museums, Tourist Infopoints, connected retail locations, and the entry itself where card payments are exclusively accepted are all places where tickets can be bought. The ticket applies everyday from 9:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m., including the first Sunday of every month, and is necessary for tourists and non residents.
Admission will continue to be free of charge for inhabitants of the City of Rome and the Città Metropolitana di Roma Capitale with presentation of valid identification. Exemptions also apply to children under five years of age, persons with impairments, and their accompanying carers.
The operating hours may vary on certain days owing to maintenance requirements or public order issues. Those who are eligible for free admission or who have already purchased a ticket can go straight to a designated access queue. Those without a ticket will be asked to queue at the authorised purchasing booths before entering the restricted basin area.
The press announcement claimed that the establishment of the admission price is aimed at regulating visitor traffic while protecting the historic site for future generations.
