Rome's iconic Trevi Fountain reopens with visitor limits
Good news is coming from the capital of Italy. After a three-month renovation, the famous Trevi Fountain in Rome is once again impressing tourists. However, there's a catch: a limit has been placed on the number of people who can admire this Baroque monument simultaneously.
Recently, social media has been abuzz with videos showing what's happening in Rome. Tourists were not pleased with the renovations being carried out in the city in preparation for the Jubilee Year 2025. Now, the work is nearing its end. The renovation of the Trevi Fountain is officially behind us.
Trevi Fountain with limits
The barriers and scaffolding have disappeared, and the famous Roman monument is once again impressive in all its glory. The mayor of Rome, Roberto Gualtieri, participated in the reopening ceremony of the iconic fountain.
During the event, the introduction of a visitor limit was announced. This will be in effect from 3:00 AM to 3:00 PM Eastern Time, except on Mondays and Fridays. On these days, the restriction will start at 5:00 AM due to the need to collect the coins thrown by tourists. These funds are traditionally donated to the Caritas organization.
Mayor Gualtieri stated that there are currently no plans to introduce an entrance fee, although he did not rule out this possibility in the future. He also added that the limit of 400 people will be subject to further evaluation depending on the situation.
At the entrance and exit near the fountain, security guards and officers responsible for safety will be on duty. Visitors can walk along the fountain, but there is a ban on sitting on its restored edge, eating meals, drinking beverages, and smoking cigarettes.
An icon of Rome
The Trevi Fountain, one of the most recognizable symbols of Rome, attracts thousands of tourists every day. After the completed conservation work, people can once again admire its full splendor, to the delight of both residents and visitors of the Italian capital.
