Venice has resumed charging a 5 USD entry fee for day tourists, initially introduced in 2024, as a measure to control the influx of visitors. This fee increases to 10 USD for reservations made within three days of access, targeting last-minute travelers. The municipality aims to address the challenges of mass tourism that have burdened the city over the years. The fee is applicable until May and then on weekends until July, marking Venice as the first city globally to impose such a fee on day visitors.
