Venice to Implement Entry Fee for Day-Trippers from Spring 2024

The €5 fee, applicable during peak periods, aims to manage overcrowding and improve the quality of life for residents.

Venice will begin charging a €5 entry fee to day-trippers during peak periods starting from spring 2024, in an attempt to manage overcrowding.
The fee will apply on 29 days between April and July, during peak hours from 8:30 a.m. until 4 p.m.
Visitors will need to book their visit online and obtain a QR code, which will be checked at specific entry points around the city.
Exemptions apply for residents, Venetian-born visitors, students, workers, and tourists with hotel or other lodging reservations.
Mayor Luigi Brugnaro stressed that the fee is not a new tourist tax or an attempt to bring in extra revenue, but a first-of-its-kind experiment in regulating tourist flows.
