Venice will now charge visitors €5 per day to try and curb overtourism that is damaging the city.
The city launched a trial last year, which has been expanded this year to the following peak travel dates:
11, 12, 18, 19, 19, 25 and 26 May
8, 9, 15, 16, 16, 22, 22, 22, 22, 22, 23, 29 and 30 June
6, 7, 13 and 14 July
If you wish to visit the city on these days, you'll need to visit the official website here and pay the tax. After that, you'll receive a QR code. While there won't be any physical barriers, inspectors will randomly check that tourists have paid.
There are exemptions in place for residents as well as those who have booked a hotel room and are staying in the city. It's also free for children under the age of six.
