Venice Considers Significant Tax Hike for Day-Trip Visitors
Venice is considering raising the tourist tax for day-trippers to a maximum of 30 euros per day, up from the current 5 to 10 euros. The city administration also plans to extend the period during which this tax is collected. An official stated that the current rate is too low to effectively combat overtourism, noting that a daily fee of 50 euros remains a possibility for 2027. Mayor Luigi Brugnaro introduced entry fees for short daytime visits in 2024 to manage visitor influx on busy days. Venice receives millions of tourists annually while having only 50,000 residents, with tens of thousands of day-trippers adding to the pressure each day.
