Starting in April 2026, Venice will reintroduce an entry fee for day visitors to manage tourist numbers and safeguard its infrastructure. The fee will apply on select peak days, primarily weekends and holidays, requiring visitors to pre-book online and present a QR code for entry between 8:30 am and 4 pm. Early bookings will cost €5, while last-minute entries will be priced at €10. This initiative aims to regulate footfall in the historic city, which attracts nearly 30 million visitors annually, and aligns with global trends prioritizing sustainable tourism. Overnight guests are exempt from this fee as they already contribute through accommodation taxes. This new system is designed to encourage thoughtful travel planning and preserve Venice's unique environment.
