Trevi Fountain Access Revamped with New Walkway Amid Renovation
TL;DR Summary
Rome has introduced an elevated walkway for tourists to view the Trevi Fountain during maintenance work, prohibiting the traditional coin tossing into the drained fountain. Instead, a small pool has been set up for coin donations, which support the Caritas charity. The walkway, accommodating 130 people at a time, will remain until the maintenance is completed by the end of the year. Future plans include requiring visitors to book online and pay a fee for timed access to the fountain area.
