Rome is set to introduce an entrance fee for the Trevi Fountain and five other sites, the Italian capital's mayor announced on Friday. Rome's mayor, Roberto Gualtieri, said at a press conference that tourists will be expected to pay the new fees starting on February 1. Rome residents will be afforded free access to the monument. While the Trevi Fountain will still be viewable from a distance for free, tourists will have to purchase a 2 ($2.35) ticket to get a closer look.
The Colosseum and Roman Forum are iconic for a reason: historic and stunning, they ignite imaginations with tales of gladiators brought alive by expert guides who use storytelling and games to engage little ones. Make sure to step inside the Vatican's Sistine Chapel, which is a treasure trove of art and architecture, and even has activity booklets for kids. The ancient city of Ostia Antica is a can't-miss site.
Rome's unique blend of history, culture, and spirituality offers an unparalleled experience for visitors, making it a global standout with its breathtaking architecture and religious significance.
I enjoy mixing materials, citing textured plaster walls, hand-painted tiles, and other surfaces of lacquered wood or polished stone. That's where the richness of the project comes from.
