羅馬特雷維噴泉收費Rome’s Trevi Fountain Fee

Reading Summary | 閱讀摘要

English: Starting February 1, Rome will charge tourists €2 to get close to the Trevi Fountain. The fee aims to reduce overtourism, congestion, and damage caused by large crowds. Mayor Roberto Gualtieri expects the “Trevi levy” to raise €6.5 million annually. Around 30,000 people visit daily, over 10 million a year. Rome residents are exempt, as the mayor believes culture should be free for citizens. The fountain, built between 1640 and 1762, depicts Oceanus, god of water, symbolizing the power of seas and rivers.
