Venice to Impose a Entry Fee for Tourists for the First Time

The popular Italian holiday spot of Venice is set to impost a new entry fee for tourists – a first for the city.

The move is part of a package of measures including requiring visitors to book in advance, pay a fee and enter the city via electronic turnstiles.

The measures are due to be brought in from summer 2022.

The entry fee is reportedly set to be between €3 and €10 euros.

Venice has been struggling with over-tourism for several years and the new measures are designed to control the amount of crowds flocking to its famous streets and waterways.

Large cruise ships were recently banned from sailing into the centre of the city.
