A Rome vacationer froze for a moment when he saw the price of two scoops of ice cream at the Trevi Fountain. The tourist hotspot is a real treat.
Munich – Rome, the Eternal City, attracts a large number of holidaymakers every year who want to see the historic metropolis up close. Whether it’s the winding streets, the famous sights such as the Colosseum or the famous Trevi Fountain – all of this attracts visitors. At the Trevi Fountain, tourists throw coins into the water in the hope of good luck; world champion Paulo Dybala proposed to his girlfriend here. But they also dig deep into their pockets at the surrounding stalls – and a few coins are no longer enough there.
Holidaymaker shock: Two balls at the Trevi Fountain almost as expensive as a case of beer here
An Austrian tourist had a surprise at the Trevi Fountain when he had to pay a hefty price of 16 euros for two scoops of ice cream. This information comes from the Austrian website heute.at. Even compared to Munich, the city with the highest ice cream prices in Germany, this price is hard to imagine. There, a scoop of ice cream costs an average of 2.12 euros. According to a 2024 report, ice cream prices in Italy have increased by about 30 percent since 2021. However, the cost is usually higher in an exclusive location like the Trevi Fountain.
Prices are rising everywhere: Holiday destinations are attracting a lot of interest – tourists are gaining a lot of experience
The rising prices for ice cream and food are a constant topic of conversation among tourists not only in Italy, but also in other holiday destinations. If a family of five goes out for ice cream together, they might skip one or two scoops in order not to spend too much money. In Dubrovnik, a city in Croatia, travelers reported 15.60 euros for four scoops of ice cream. Another Croatia holidaymaker filmed a menu in an ice cream parlor and commented: “A bit more expensive than Monte Carlo”Even supposed insider tips are no longer insider tips, as a bill for cevapcici and beer on the island of Brac shows.
However, some people have tried to use social media to combat this. For example, a local from Rome made a video explaining to tourists how to identify real, good ice cream parlors. In Split, Croatia, an Englishman filmed various menus and tried to compare the prices with those in his home country. But it’s important to note that bargains are rare at tourist magnets like the Trevi Fountain. (ank)
