In Venice, a decision was made to introduce a city visit fee for tourists to regulate tourist flows and preserve the uniqueness of the city. For 29 days next year, it will be mandatory to pay for the entrance to the Old Town, in particular in April, May and June. The fee will be charged between April 25 and May 5 and every Saturday and Sunday in May, June and July from 8:30 to 16:00

Each tourist older than 14 years will have to pay 5 euros for the entrance. The Mayor of Venice, Luigi Brugnaro, emphasized that this is an experiment with fundraising aimed at improving the quality of life of the city and its residents. The amount of the contribution will remain constant, and there will be no additional charge for exceeding the attendance threshold. The fundraising system will be implemented through the municipality's web application.
