Venice Increases Tourist Entry Fee to Manage Overtourism

The historic city doubles its last-minute day-tripper fee and extends the program to more peak days in 2025.

Venice's day-tripper entry fee, introduced in 2024, will double from €5 to €10 for last-minute bookings starting April 18, 2025.
The fee applies only to the historic city center on select high-traffic days, increasing from 29 days in 2024 to 54 days in 2025.
Exemptions include residents, students, workers, children under 14, and attendees of certain events like the Venice Boat Show.
City officials report the fee has already generated €2.4 million in revenue and reduced peak visitor numbers in 2024.
Other tourist destinations, including Kyoto, Formentera, and Zermatt, are exploring similar measures to address overtourism.
