Overview

• Venice has reintroduced and expanded its entry fee system, now charging up to 10 Euros per day for late bookings and 5 Euros for early bookings.
• The fee applies on 54 days in 2025, including Easter and summer weekends, nearly doubling the number of chargeable days from last year.
• The policy aims to manage overtourism and reduce congestion in iconic areas like St. Mark’s Square and the Rialto Bridge.
• Revenue from the system remains insufficient to cover operational costs, despite generating over 2.4 million Euros in 2024.
• Exemptions include local residents, children under 14, and other specified groups, while non-compliance may result in fines up to 300 Euros.
