Rome may soon implement a ticket reservation system for visiting one of its most popular tourist attractions — the Trevi Fountain. According to city authorities, this measure is aimed at reducing the number of visitors and promoting sustainable tourism.

Officials in the Italian capital have revealed that they are considering introducing a reservation system for the fountain. Local residents would be able to access the site for free, while tourists would be charged a symbolic fee of one euro. However, this idea is still under discussion, and no final decision has been made.

The primary goal of this initiative is not to generate revenue but to manage the crowds of people eager to see the fountain. City officials hope that limiting the number of visitors will help preserve the monument and improve the overall experience for those who visit. Nevertheless, critics argue that charging for access to public spaces could deter tourists.

Tourist Reactions

Visitors from around the world are already divided on the proposal. Many believe that iconic landmarks like the Trevi Fountain should remain free for all. One tourist expressed their opinion: "The Trevi Fountain is a symbol of Italy, and it should be accessible to everyone, no matter how much money they have."

However, supporters of the project argue that this approach could enhance the quality of visits and help preserve the city’s cultural heritage, which is increasingly strained by the high volume of tourists.

Sustainable Tourism — Rome’s New Priority

The idea of introducing a ticket reservation system and a small fee is closely aligned with the global trend towards sustainable tourism. Like many other popular tourist cities, Rome faces challenges related to overcrowding at heritage sites and environmental concerns. Regulating the number of visitors could not only ease the strain on attractions but also create a more pleasant experience for those who wish to enjoy their beauty.

As a result, visiting the Trevi Fountain in the near future may become a more planned and organized part of a trip to the Eternal City, rather than just a spontaneous sightseeing stop.
