Rome introduces entry fees for Trevi Fountain and other landmarks in 2026

Effective February 2026, Rome will charge a €2 admission fee for visitors who stand in the immediate vicinity of the Trevi Fountain, with a limit of 400 people at a time, while the view from the piazza remains free. The city also announced new charges for other historic sites: the Pantheon will cost €5 (rising to €7 in summer), several museums that were previously free will now require tickets, and the Colosseum will only be accessible with a personalized ticket that must be booked at least 30 days in advance.

The changes come after a record 22.9 million tourists visited the city in 2025. Free access is retained on the first Sunday of each month at many sites, and public drinking water remains available at the “Nasoni” fountains. The travel portal romurlaub.com offers tips on how to avoid peak prices, such as visiting in September rather than July.
