Venice tourist tax, venice entry fee… whatever name you give it, you need to know what is important to remember.
The beginning of 2024 brought a new regulation for tourist access to Venice. The Municipality introduced a tax to discourage daily tourism and mitigate the effects of mass tourism. Now, payment of a tax is required for visitors wishing to spend only a day in the city and visiting the city.
Important to note that, except for residents of Venice, all visitors must register. Some registrations are free, while others incur an additional cost.
VivoVenetia wants to ensure that you understand clearly and easily everything that is important to know before visiting the lagoon city of Venice.
