Paid entry to Venice: details

The relevant authorities have stated that the entrance fee to the city is being introduced to manage the flow of tourists who want to visit the historic part of Venice and the small islands of the Venetian Lagoon. This decision was made to limit the number of tourists to a unique place. 

The test regime of the visit fee should start in the spring of 2024 and will last for 30 days, but the exact dates will be approved by the city council in the near future. Most likely, the restriction will apply during holidays and vacation periods in spring and summer. 

It is reported that during the testing phase, the entry fee will be EUR 5. 

Who will be obliged to pay the entry fee? 

Individuals aged 14 years and older will be required to pay for a one-day visit to the Ancient City of the Municipality of Venice.
