Venice may raise visitor entrance fee to 50 euros to prevent overtourism

Venice’s new mayor, Simone Venturini, is proposing a significant increase in the city’s controversial entrance fee, potentially reaching €50 on busy days. The move aims to curb overtourism by discouraging day trippers and raising funds for the city’s maintenance. The fee, in effect since 2024, could see a significant increase pending government approval as Venice tries to balance the needs of residents with the influx of tourists.
