Venice Tourist Tax

May 2024.
A new entry tax trial is being introduced when visiting Venice this summer.

The trial initiative will require tourists to pay a 5-euro entry fee per person. The primary purpose of the tax is to better manage tourist flows in such a way as to preserve Venice and also allow those who are there to enjoy it pleasantly.

This new entry tax will only apply to those visiting Venice on selected dates and does not apply to those that are staying in hotels in Venice and its local municipalities. 

However, for those that are exempt from paying the entry tax, an exemption must be applied for, for each individual traveller, and you can do this via the official link below :-

Venice Entry Tax Exemption Application

This is a free of charge service. Once you have applied for the exemption, you will be emailed a QR Code which you will need to present when asked for it by local authorities. You can download the QR code to your Smartphone or tablet, or alternatively you can take this in a printed format.

I still need help.
