2 hrs
24h Free CancellationDrawing a daily average of 30,000 visitors in 2025, the Trevi Fountain is one of Rome’s most famous (and most photographed) attractions. But from 1 February 2026, visiting the Trevi Fountain will work a little differently. In an effort to curb the flow of tourists and protect the fountain’s ornamental basin, the Roman authorities are introducing a ticketed system.
And like everything in Italy, it’s more complicated than it should be.
First, some good news. The Trevi Fountain is still free to see. The new change only affects the closest viewing spot, down the steps and right in front of the fountain’s basin.
Entering Piazza di Trevi (the square where the fountain is located) is still 100% free. So if you’re passing through or admiring the fountain from in front of the steps you don’t have to pay a dime. You should also be able to access this restricted area outside the hours in which the ticketing system is active (9 am - 10 pm daily, or from 11 am - 10 pm on Monday and Friday).
Proposed access route for accessing the Trevi Fountain restricted area.
You will require a ticket to stand right at the edge of the fountain basin and get up close to the Trevi Fountain. The ticket will cost €2, with the concessions outlined in the section below.
As the plan above illustrates, the access point will be at the top right (facing the fountain).
Access to the restricted area remains free for:
If this applies to you, bring ID/documentation just in case.
Only purchase tickets through official channels. If someone approaches you in the street offering “tickets,” skip it. At best, you’ll be buying a ticket with a huge markup; at worst, you’ll be purchasing a worthless piece of paper. Instead, choose one of these two official ways to get your €2 ticket:
If you’re visiting at a specific time and want the smoothest experience, buying online is your best option. There’s just one problem with this. At the time of writing, the official booking system has not yet launched.
Moreover, we’re not quite sure which website will serve as the booking platform. Google is telling us that tickets will be available on the City of Rome’s official tourism page. But Roma Today has suggested that the website for buying tickets will be http://fontanaditrevi.roma.it/.
Since those responsible for programming the booking calendar seem to be on an extended coffee break, we recommend bookmarking this page and checking back soon. We’ll update this post as soon as ticket sales go live.
Near the controlled access entrance area, you’ll see QR codes posted on official signage. Simply:
This is often much faster than standing in the main queue the entire time.
If you don’t care about being right at the edge, you can still enjoy the Trevi Fountain for free, and without the hassle of navigating ticketing platforms.
For more quick tips on timing and what to look for while you’re there, our Trevi Fountain guide is a helpful read
We recommend going early in the morning for the fewest crowds and the calmest atmosphere. Since the news is out that this is the best time to visit, more early birds are catching the worm, and so the only time you’re likely to have the Trevi Fountain entirely to yourself is at sunrise.
We also suggest going later at night to see the escape the crowds, see the fountain lit up, and to avail yourself of cooler temperatures in summer. Our Rome by Night Walking Tour coincides with this time, and is perfect for those who want the knowledge and expertise of a guide to contextualise the sites they see.
Always avoid peak times where possible (usually midday through early evening). The Trevi Fountain can be so busy that you can barely see the basin. Also keep your wits about you when visiting when the fountain is at its most crowded. Rome is generally very safe, but pickpockets do operate around the Trevi Fountain and other major attractions in the centre.
Trevi is right in the heart of the historic centre, so it fits naturally into a wider walking route — often paired with places like the Pantheon, Piazza Navona, and the Spanish Steps.
If you’re looking for an easy “see the highlights” plan, these tours all include the Trevi Fountain as part of the route:
This small-group walking tour is ideal for first-timers or anyone who’s just arrived and wants expert insight into Rome's central sites: the Spanish Steps, Trevi Fountain, Pantheon, Piazza Navona and more.
This after-hours walking tour is a great choice in summer to beat the heat, and often a nicer way to experience central Rome once the daytime crowds thin out.
Treat yourself to this tour if you want a more personal pace, a custom route, or you’re travelling with family and want something flexible.
Trevi is still Trevi — majestic, dramatic, and absolutely worth a stop. The new system just means you’ll want to decide:
✅ Want that iconic close-up shot at the basin? → Get the €2 ticket
✅ Happy viewing the fountain from the piazza? → No ticket needed
And if you arrive and see a long line, scan the QR code, buy the ticket on your phone, grab a quick espresso, then come back and enter with your ticket.
Not always. You can still visit Piazza di Trevi and see the fountain for free. A €2 ticket is only required if you want to enter the closest viewing area right in front of the basin during regulated access hours.
It’s the controlled space closest to the monument, where people stand right at the edge of the basin for the classic Trevi Fountain photos. The rest of the square remains open as normal.
The ticket costs €2 per person (for tourists and non-residents).
Tickets apply every day from 9:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m.
Access remains free for:
There are two official options:
Not at the time of writing. It seems likely that the official system will appear on this page, but there is currently no booking calendar available:
No. Always avoid unofficial sellers — for the Trevi Fountain and all other sites and museums in Rome. Always use the official online system or the QR codes posted near the entrance.
Yes! If you don’t care about being right at the edge of the basin, you can still get a fantastic view (and great photos) from the piazza without buying a ticket.
Early morning is usually calmest. Late evening can also be a great option (especially in summer). If you’re curious about other timing tips, our Trevi Fountain short guide is a handy quick read.

Rome, ItalyJoin us on a journey through Roman history on our immersive Rome by Night Walking Tour. Your expert guide will share the city’s secrets, history, and fascinating tales—from antiquity through to the modern day, and at a pace to suit you.
Our tour starts in Rome’s most picturesque square, Piazza Navona, where the ancient Romans used to watch athletic contests (agones). Today’s piazza sits above the ancient stadium and boasts Gian Lorenzo Bernini‘s stunning Fountain of the Four Rivers as its centrepiece.
A five-minute walk from Piazza Navona takes us to the world-famous Pantheon. Constructed more than two-thousand years ago by the eccentric emperor Hadrian, the Pantheon was consecrated as a monument to all the pagan gods (pan theos, in Greek meaning all the gods). This second-century temple is one of the best-preserved monuments in the Roman Empire and its unreinforced concrete dome still perplexes architects.
Our next stop is the iconic Trevi Fountain. Immortalised by Anita Ekberg wading through its water in Federico Fellini’s iconic film La Dolce Vita, the Trevi Fountain one of the most romantic spots in the Eternal City. Snap your photos of the monument in the moonlight, listen to your guide decipher its symbols, and toss a coin over your shoulder to guarantee your return to Rome.
We emerge from Rome’s winding backstreets onto Piazza Venezia. Stretching from the foot of the Capitoline Hill, against the backdrop of the Altar of the Fatherland, Piazza Venezia is Rome’s most recognisable square, and a repository of history involving figures from Napoleon to Mussolini.
Your guide will lead you down the Via dei Fori Imperiali, the boulevard that cuts through ancient Rome, past Trajan’s Column and alongside the forums of Trajan, Augustus and Nerva. Your guide will feed your curiosity and nourish you with knowledge about ancient Rome and its empire as you make your way towards the most famous monument of all: the Colosseum.
The Colosseum is one of the most awe-inspiring attractions that has survived from antiquity. As a colossal feat of architecture and engineering, its form has been replicated throughout the ages, manifested in stadiums and sports venues around the world. But while its form is familiar to us, the spectacles it accommodated are entirely alien, and remind us of the violent nature of Roman culture.
Group sizes are 15 people maximum.

Rome, ItalyExplore the wonders of the Eternal City on our Wonders of Rome Walking Tour!

Take photos, make memories, and most importantly, get the most out of your time in the Italian capital!
Your guide will share the city’s secrets and narrate its story in a way that will make you feel like you’ve stepped back in time – from explaining how the stunningly intricate churches and palaces were erected, to how the grand fountains were used to channel water throughout the city.
After meeting your guide at Piazza d'Aracoeli, we'll head to the Piazza Venezia, the crossroads between the ancient city and the modern capital and one of the most scenic squares in Italy! We'll then admire Trajan’s Column, a second-century AD monument which portrays the bloody victory of the emperor Trajan in his Dacian wars in Eastern Europe.
After taking a moment to marvel at the imposing Altar of the Fatherland, we’ll make our way to the iconic Trevi Fountain. Toss a coin into the fountain, spend a moment soaking in its sounds and scenery (metaphorically, not literally!), and uncover the fascinating stories behind the fountain’s statues and symbols.
We’ll then make our way to the Pantheon where the spectacle of the 2000-year-old dome will blow you away. Marvel at one of the best-preserved buildings of the ancient world, hear the story behind the man who built it, and discover the shocking architectural secret behind how the dome is (or isn’t) supported!
The square is situated near some of Rome’s best and most vibrant bars and restaurants and your guide will be happy to recommend where to go.
Our Rome Walking Tour is suitable for people of all ages and fitness levels. You can expect this memorable experience to last about two hours, which leaves you with more than enough time to explore the city beyond. Make sure you don’t miss out.

Rome, ItalyChannel your inner-Maximus as you step out onto the Colosseum Arena floor and access this recently reopened area of the world famous amphitheatre. Then, explore the rest of the heart of ancient Rome, with a friendly, expert guide and a small group of like-minded travellers!
Unlike regular tours of the Colosseum, our Colosseum Arena Tour gets you straight inside the ancient amphitheatre and out onto the arena floor through the Gladiator’s Gate. This is the route the gladiators themselves took almost 2,000 years ago. Imagine the moment they left the gates, and were greeted by the cheers and jeers of 50,000 bloodthirsty spectators.
Your expert guide will transport you back in time to the height of the Roman Empire when the Colosseum was constructed. These were times when Rome was ruled by all-powerful emperors (sometimes wise, sometimes wacky), the city was flooded with exotic riches from around the world, and the Colosseum acted as the city’s main stage for showing off the animals and people that Rome had conquered and captured.
After a short 30-minute break, we’ll head off on the next part of the tour…
Next, we’ll climb the Palatine Hill, where the ancient city was founded. The Palatine Hill is a real archaeological wonder, home to settlements from the Iron Age to the 16th century. Gaze upon such sites as the Hut of Romulus, Rome’s legendary founder, and the Imperial Palace, where the emperors in their family engaged in ruling, politicking, and scheming. Get your camera at the ready – you really can’t beat these views!
The final destination on our Colosseum Arena Tour is the Roman Forum. As the beating heart of ancient Rome, the Roman Forum was once a bustling hub of markets, law courts, temples, and more. It was here that Julius Caesar was cremated, where victorious triumphs paraded with the spoils of Roman conquests, here where two disgraced emperors were murdered in 69 AD, and here where Cicero delivered the speeches that shaped western culture for centuries.
When our tour is over, feel free to stay and explore the Roman Forum at your own pace.

Rome, ItalyRome may well be the world’s most beautiful city, but after dark a more sinister side emerges. The ghosts of popes, emperors, and artists lurk on every corner, their lives claimed by tragedy and conspiracy across more than 2,000 years of history. Our Rome Ghost Tour is not for the faint hearted — you’ll hear the ghastly tales of beheadings and murder that are sure to keep you up late at night.
Your Rome Ghost Tour starts at Campo de’ Fiori, a central square, where you’ll be treated to the tale of Giordano Bruno, one of Rome’s greatest minds who got on the wrong side of the church. After learning about his grisly end, you’ll begin to explore the city. Venture through medieval backstreets; visit an ancient church adorned with skulls; and step inside the home to a mysterious order of monks. Discover the childhood home of one of Rome’s most infamous executioners; see the site of one of Rome’s most infamous prisons; and pass by a poisonous perfumery where cosmetics killed.
Your tour ends at the imposing Castel Sant’Angelo, where your guide will reveal the horror of Rome’s most disturbing executions. If you’re (un)lucky, you might even encounter a ghost or two.
No matter what, you’ll never see Rome the same way again.
