Rome’s famed Trevi Fountain is back to captivating visitors after three months of renovation work . The 18th-century Baroque masterpiece reopened on Sunday, perfectly timed for the start of the 2025 Jubilee Holy Year. With millions of visitors expected during the Jubilee, the restoration ensures the iconic fountain remains a must-visit landmark for tourists.
The renovation, which cost €327,000 (around $341,000), included essential preservation work on the monument. To protect the fountain and improve visitor experience, authorities have introduced crowd control measures. Starting now, only 400 visitors will be allowed at a time.
To access the fountain, visitors must book tickets online for €2 ($2.20). Each ticket grants 30 minutes to enjoy the landmark. Rome’s cultural heritage superintendent explained that the new visitor limits are designed to give people a better chance to appreciate the fountain and the symbolism it represents.
Coin tossing, a time-honored tradition associated with the Trevi Fountain, also continues to thrive. During the restoration, a makeshift pool allowed visitors to throw coins as usual, with proceeds donated to the Catholic charity Caritas. The ritual generates an impressive €1.5 million ($1.6 million) annually, fueling charitable programs across the city.
Rome officials are also working on plans to block off the area around the fountain to further manage the influx of Jubilee pilgrims. These measures ensure the Trevi Fountain remains an accessible and cherished attraction for years to come.
