Venice extends admission fee for day visitors to 72 days

Venice is expanding its entry fee for day visitors to cover 72 days annually, primarily during weekends, holidays, and bridge days. This change aims to manage overcrowding and preserve the city’s cultural heritage by limiting the number of tourists visiting on peak days. The new policy will take effect in 2027 and applies specifically to short-term visitors rather than residents or those staying overnight. The measure reflects ongoing efforts to balance tourism with sustainability goals.

Venice will extend its entry fee for day visitors to 72 days starting in 2027, according to recent announcements. The fee applies primarily on weekends, holidays, and bridge days. The city council approved the measure, which will run from Good Friday, March 26, to August 15. In 2026, the fee was collected over 60 days, from March to July. The new regulation includes periods such as April 23 to May 2, and May 28 to June 6, around Italy’s national holiday on June 2. Additional days include Easter and Easter Monday, as well as the weekend surrounding August 15, the Feast of the Assumption of Mary. The daily collection period will be extended by half an hour, running from 8:30 AM to 4:30 PM. The maximum charge remains at ten euros per visitor. Venice introduced the entry fee in 2024 for 29 days, expanded it to 54 days in 2025, and applied it to 60 days in 2026. The city continues to implement the policy as part of broader efforts to manage tourist flows. Michele Zuin, the city official responsible for the budget, stated the fee is a meaningful component of measures to control tourism. Silvia Peruzzo Meggetto, the tourism official, emphasized the need for coordinated tools to monitor visitor numbers and promote respectful behavior toward the city and its residents.
