The Trevi Fountain reopens today, shining bright after maintenance work carried out in preparation for the 2025 Jubilee. After three months of renovations and an investment of 327,000 euros, the world’s most famous fountain is finally free of scaffolding. However, with the reopening come some important updates: access will now be limited and scheduled in time slots, ensuring a more orderly experience for tourists and visitors alike.

What are the new rules to follow?
Limited access
Overcrowding has always been the biggest issue for visitors wanting to enjoy the Trevi Fountain. The new system aims to reduce the notorious problem of overtourism, allowing everyone to visit in peace, harmony, and without rush—just as it should be.
The focus is now on quality over quantity, achieved by limiting the number of tourists at any given time. Currently, the cap is set at 400 visitors simultaneously. While no ticketing system is in place yet to stagger visitor influx, security and organization will be managed by dedicated staff.
Time slots
Free access will only be allowed after 9 PM, but security personnel will remain on-site to prevent rule violations or damage to the fountain. Separate routes for entry and exit have also been established: visitors will enter via the central staircase and exit on the side of Via dei Crociferi.
The visiting hours are as follows:
- Every day: from 9 AM to 9 PM (last entry at 8:30 PM).
- Mondays and Fridays: entry postponed until 11 AM to allow for coin collection.
- Every second Monday: limited access from 2 PM to 9 PM for routine maintenance.
No sitting on the basin edge
Sitting on the edge of the fountain for souvenir photos is no longer allowed. Eating, drinking, and smoking are also prohibited near the fountain.
Informative totems with QR codes will be installed near the basin. Visitors can scan them to read interesting facts about the fountain during their visit.
The reopening of the Trevi Fountain coincides with the reopening of the Fountain of the Four Rivers in Piazza Navona (click here to learn more). Regarding the event, Mayor Roberto Gualtieri said:
“We are thrilled about this reopening. It’s been a race against time, but we’ve managed to restore this fountain to its former glory. Now it’s ready for the Jubilee and can be admired in a more civilized manner. We’re experimenting with regulated access lines to protect the monument and ensure everyone can enjoy it without overcrowding.”
