Overview

  • Day visitors to Venice now face a €10 fee if booking within three days of their visit, while early bookers continue to pay €5.
  • The fee applies to 54 days in 2025, including daily charges from Good Friday through early May and weekends through late July.
  • Overnight guests, residents, children under 14, and certain other groups remain exempt from the entry fee.
  • In 2024, the program generated €2.4 million from 485,000 paying visitors, though operational costs still exceed revenue.
  • Mayor Luigi Brugnaro emphasizes the fee as a measure to mitigate overtourism, but its effectiveness as a deterrent remains uncertain.
