Venez, in Italy, is considering increasing the entry rate for tourists visiting the city only during the day to 30 euros. The goal is to control the flow of visitors in periods of greater movement.
In statements to the Italian news agency ANSA, the mayor of Venice, Simone Venturini, explained that “thanks to the new ticket”, there may be “discounts for museums, bathrooms and souvenir shops in the city”.
“ For the time being, we cannot exceed the EUR 10 rate, but we have put the issue to Rome to increase that limit and I think it makes sense to continue along this path,” he said.
“ Our proposal continues, in general terms, to point to a figure of about EUR 30... But it would not be a fixed rate, but the maximum limit of a value that would only be reached on the days when the number of visitors is the maximum”, he added.
The goal, the mayor explained, is to combat the excess of “fast passage” tourism and allow “selecting the tourist flows” that fill the streets of Venice.
Currently, the entry fee, implemented in 2024, varies between 5 and 10 euros for visitors entering Venice without staying overnight.
