The Trevi Fountain in Rome has introduced a new queuing system to manage the ever-growing crowds, especially in preparation for the Jubilee in 2025.

Navigating the New Queue System at Trevi Fountain
Officials have implemented a structured queuing system to enhance the visitor experience. Visitors can access the fountain from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m., with the last entry at 8:30 p.m. The number of visitors is capped at 400 at a time to prevent overcrowding.
On Mondays and Fridays, the fountain remains closed until noon for coin collection, and every other Monday, it opens at 2 p.m. for cleaning.
Best Times to Visit
- Late Night Magic: The queue system isn’t regulated after 9 p.m., so visiting after 9:30 p.m. allows you to enjoy the fountain without heavy crowds. Plus, it’s beautifully illuminated at night!
- Midday Pause: If you want to see the fountain during the day, 12:30 p.m. is a good time since many tourists break for lunch.
- Avoid Mondays & Fridays Mornings: The fountain stays closed until noon on these days for coin collection and cleaning.
Where to Line Up
Visitors enter through a central staircase and exit via a gate on the left side, facing Via dei Crociferi. There’s no time limit—you can stay as long as you like. However, eating, drinking, and sitting on the fountain’s marble edge are prohibited.
Future Changes
Rome’s mayor has hinted at a possible online reservation system later this year, which may require visitors to book tickets and select time slots. For now, entry remains free and available for walk-ins.
