In Rome, the Trevi Fountain will soon be chargeable?

For years, tourists have been paying their way to the Trevi Fountain in Rome (Italy) every day when they throw a coin into the water to make a wish. To cope with the influx of tourists, the city of Rome is considering introducing a one-euro entrance ticket and setting visiting times of between 20 and 30 minutes by reservation. This measure is understood by most tourists. For several years, the square of the famous fountain, in Baroque style, has been saturated with visitors.

It is also the site of improbable challenges. In periods of extreme heat, some do not hesitate to dive into it or climb it to take the best photo. Others leave their waste all over the building. The city hall assures that it is not a question of making money on the backs of tourists. But, with nearly 100,000 visitors per day to the fountain, it is for it the only way to improve the visit. The Italian capital is also considering increasing the tourist tax paid by tourists.
