Starting in 2024, the City of Venice has decided to charge an “Access Fee” to visitors who do not stay overnight in the city, in the amount of 5 euros per day. There are no reductions and the administrative fine ranges from 50 euros to 300 euros.
The Access Fee is NOT due from 4 p.m. to 8:30 a.m., and visitors who stay overnight in an accommodation facility in the City of Venice are exempt from payment.
People born and/or residing in the Municipality of Venice, children under the age of 14 and holders of the European Disability Card and their accompanying person do not need to pay the fee or apply for the exemption.
On an experimental basis, on the following dates in 2024, visitors to Venice will be required to show a QR code certifying that they have paid the Access Fee, or obtained an exemption:
APRIL 2024: 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, and 30;
