Venice charging day-trippers €5

Venice will become the first major city in the world to adopt such a measure when the long-mooted €5 (£4.30) fee comes into force later this month.

Luigi Brugnaro said the objective was not to make money for Venice’s coffers but to “defend” the lagoon city, which attracts an estimated 40,000 visitors a day, and make it more liveable.

The tickets are bookable online and apply on 29 peak dates between 25 April and 14 July. Venice authorities consider 2024 as being the experimental phase of the initiative.

Day-trippers will be provided with a QR code once they’ve booked their ticket, which is required only for access to Venice’s historic centre. Stewards will carry out checks at various access points and visitors risk fines of up to €300 if they arrive without a code.
