"Venice Entry Fee: Booking Your Ticket for 2024 Visit"

Venice will implement an entry fee for day trippers from April 25 to July 14, with a flat 5 euros charge per person per day. Visitors staying overnight must register for an exemption. The city council has launched an online platform for fee payment and exemption requests. The move aims to manage tourist numbers and raise awareness of peak season and busy days, with fines for those evading payment. The initiative also seeks to address issues such as overtourism and illegal rentals, with potential future plans for a sliding scale of fees.

Exemptions include residents, people born in Venice, property owners, students, commuters, and those visiting on business or short-term study. Children under 14 and people with certified disabilities are also exempt. Fines for non-compliance range from 50 to 300 euros ($54 to $327) per person.

Venice Implements Daily Tourist Fee Starting Next Year

Venice has approved guidelines to charge daily visitors a $5.50 entrance fee starting next year, initially testing it for 30 days on spring and summer weekends. The aim is to discourage daily tourism during certain periods and protect the city's fragility and uniqueness. The fee will be applicable to day-trippers over the age of 14, while commuters, residents of the Veneto region, and overnight visitors who already pay a lodging tax will be exempt. The plan, which aims to strike a balance between residents and visitors, is awaiting final approval. In 2019, day-trippers contributed only a fraction of the revenue compared to overnight visitors. The fee plan was delayed due to COVID, and UNESCO has recommended adding Venice to its list of World Heritage in Danger due to climate change and tourism's impact.
