Tourists hoping to get close enough to the Trevi Fountain to throw in a coin (which legend has it means you’ll be back ) will now have to pay a fee — 2 euros or $2.35.
After the landmark was mobbed by tourists, the city levied this fee, which is helping to manage the crowds.
Now you are in a small group and can actually take photos of the iconic fountain.
The success of a similar ticketing system at Rome’s Pantheon monument, like the tourist day-tripper tax that the lagoon city of Venice imposed last year, is helping ease overtourism and make popular cities more liveable for the residents.
