Sunsets/cruises... it's a thing.

Attn: Rome visitors to the Trevi Fountain.

If you’re planning to visit the Trevi Fountain, you might notice things work a little differently now.

To protect this iconic monument and improve the visitor experience, a new system is in place.

The fountain is open daily from 9:00 AM to 9:00 PM, with the last entry at 8:30 PM. However, on Mondays and Fridays, it opens later at 12:00 PM due to maintenance.

Access is now controlled, with only 400 people allowed at a time, so you might need to wait your turn.

There’s also a new route: visitors must enter through the central staircase and exit via Via dei Crociferi on the left side. And yes, there are new rules to follow—no sitting on the fountain’s edge, no food, drinks, or smoking near the water, and coins must be tossed in the designated area only.

These changes aim to keep the Trevi Fountain beautiful and accessible for everyone. If you’ve visited under the new system, let us know how it went!

Did you know that women make close to 85% of all travel decisions? From choosing destinations to booking flights, accommodations, and activities, women are the driving force behind travel planning. They also make up the lion’s share of the tourism workforce! 😮

Happy International Women's Day! ♀️✨

Taste complex red wines and crisp whites grown on terraced vineyards rooted in the Roman Empire. Explore Avignon’s grand Palace of the Popes and Cologne’s majestic cathedral, both UNESCO sites.
