Venice Extends Day-Visitor Fee to 60 Dates in 2026 at €10, €5 With Early Booking

City officials say the charge funds crowd management despite doubts about its effectiveness.

Overview

  • Entry will be required on specified days from April 3 through July 26, with the fee targeting daytrippers only.
  • Overnight guests are exempt from the entry charge but pay a nightly tourist tax, and residents and children are also exempt.
  • The program has expanded from 29 paid days in 2024 to 54 in 2025 and now 60 in 2026.
  • Visitors must pay online to obtain a QR code, with reported checks that can bring fines of up to €300 for noncompliance.
  • More than 720,000 day visitors registered in 2025, generating about €5.4 million, as officials face ongoing evasion and questions over impact.
