Venice Day-Tripper Tourist Tax Extended Through 2025
by Briana Bonfiglio
The cost to visit Venice for the day during peak season will double this year.
Venice is, quite literally, doubling down on the day-tripper tourist tax that it introduced in 2024, extending the policy through 2025, adding more days to pay, and increasing the fee.
From April 18 through July 27, during peak days and hours, day-trippers to Venice will be charged a 10-euro ($10.80 USD) tax. The fee will apply to all visitors who do not have overnight accommodations and enter the city Friday through Sunday and holidays between 8:30 a.m. and 4 p.m.
Venice held a test phase of the new tax last year. During that time, city authorities said the fee helped to slightly reduce crowds and raised about 2.2 million euro ($2.4 million).
The new tax is meant to curb overtourism, but critics say it is not enough to restore quality of life to Venice residents, who have been leaving the city in recent years.
