People must pay to see the Trevi Fountain – level 1

People must pay to see the Trevi Fountain

06-02-2026 07:00

Tourists in Rome must pay 2 euros to go close to the Trevi Fountain. People pay to walk near the water and throw a coin. People can still see the fountain for free from the place above.

The city wants fewer people near the fountain at one time. Many people visit every day, and this brings problems. The city uses lines and rules to help control visitors.

People pay only during the day. At night, people go for free. The city uses the money to care for old places. People who live in Rome do not pay. The plan helps keep the place nice and calm.

Difficult words: coin (small metal money), fountain (a place where water flows), control (to keep things how they should be).

You can watch the original video in the Level 3 section.

What problem is the city addressing by using lines and rules around the Trevi Fountain?
