Brochure 2025

No, if you stay in one of the accommodation facilities located in the territory of the Municipality of Venice (hotels, B&Bs, guest houses and apartments for tourist rental) you only have to obtain or apply for an exemption code. If, on the contrary, your visit does not include an overnight stay in an accommodation facility located in the territory of the Municipality of Venice, you are required to pay the Access Fee.

The trial for the year 2025 does not include the application of the concept of a daily threshold, understood as the number of entries beyond which the Fee due may have different amounts.

For the year 2025, the incentive to advance booking has been introduced which provides a payment of €5.00 only for those who pay the Access Fee within the quarter of the last day (inclusive) before the day of access. Otherwise, for those who pay the Access Fee within three days of the access date, the amount is €10.00. 

They will be clearly identifiable by wearing a bib and/or identification card. 

• - Yes, in the case of an individual subject;
• - No, in the case of individuals belonging to an organised group. The QR Code voucher may be a single document (cumulative) for organised groups. The QR-code voucher does not require the first name and surname of all group members to be entered, but instead, it has to have the name of the group leader. Only the number of members of the group has to be entered, on condition that these people travel together so that they can be identified as a group in the event of inspection. These group vouchers are issued by tourist agencies that have subscribed to the special concession agreement. (page in Italian)

No, you can only use it for the requested date(s).

No.

Yes, for the scheduled days of enforcement, exemption or payment of the Access Fee is valid for the whole day.

For the year 2025 the need for a further experimental application phase of the Access Fee has been assessed on a trial basis, aimed at verifying its effects also from the perspective of a better management of tourist flows - also in terms of encouraging virtuous behaviour in entering the Old City of Venice as well as discouraging unscheduled day visits - and the organization of public services.

On a trial basis for 2025, the visit booking and Access Fee payment (except for those meeting the exclusion and exemption conditions) will apply:

1) only to those days scheduled in the 8:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. time slot.

2) to enter the Old City of the Municipality of Venice and NOT the minor islands in the lagoon;

3) with the incentive to advance booking that provides for the payment of €5.00 only for those who pay the Access Fee within the quarter'last day prior to the day of access. Otherwise, for those who pay the Access Fee after the fourth day prior to the access date, the fee is €10.00.

In the Municipality of Venice, all guests staying in accommodations (hotels, room rentals, B&Bs, etc.) are required to pay the Tourist Tax, which is collected directly by the facility manager. The tax is calculated by applying, for each guest, the rate set by the Municipality to the number of nights the person stays in the facility (up to 5 nights).

The Access Fee is applied as an alternative to the tourist tax and is aimed at all those who instead enter the Old City without staying in an accommodation facility in the City of Venice, subject to the exclusions or exemptions provided.

It depends on the degree of kinship. If a spouse, civil partner, cohabiting partner, relatives or relatives-in-law up to the 3rd degree are visiting, they are entitled to an exemption. (In the experimental implementation also for the year 2025, the Access Fee will NOT be applied to the Minor Islands identified by the Regulation).

No, because there is a tourist tax to be paid. One should still acquire the exemption voucher with QR-code, indicating only the days on which one intends to visit the Old City if they fall within the days of enforcement.

No, because there is a tourist tax to be paid. One must still acquire the exemption voucher with QR-code indicating the days of overnight stay (from the day of arrival to the day of departure).

Accommodation customers have to consult the facility staff for instructions.

From the day of arrival to the day of departure at the accommodation facility.

In the event of an inspection, the visitor is required to declare the new residence, which is then verified by the Municipal Administration. If you wish to have a document certifying your new residence, you can download, free of charge, a certificate of residence for the applicant or other household members. The form is available on the following website: dime.comune.venezia.it/servizio/certificati

The Municipal Administration can use the tools provided by the law for the recovery of evasion and avoidance and in particular carry out checks, inspections and inspections by staff authorized to do so at the main access points of the City. An administrative fine ranging from €25 to €150 will be imposed for failure to present, upon request by municipal authorities, the ticket proving payment of the Access Fee, or documentation certifying exemption or exclusion, or for using a ticket on a date other than the valid one, with the possibility of reporting under the Criminal Code and special laws on the subject to anyone who makes false statements, forms false acts or makes use thereof in the cases provided for by the Regulation. The sums, if not paid within the period indicated in the notified act, are collected coactively according to what is provided for by the current legislation on tax matters.

The 3rd-removed kinship relationship exists with, among others, great-grandfather, uncle, nephew, while the 3rd-removed kinship relationship exists with, among others, great-grandfather, uncle, nephew of the spouse and civilly united.

In order to promote sustainable and conscious tourism as well as the adoption of good practices in tourism, the City Administration has provided for the determination of the Access Fee to the Old City of the Municipality of Venice and other minor islands of the lagoon. This Fee is established under national legislation (art. 4 paragraph 3-bis of Legislative Decree 23/2011, Law 145/2018, Law 122/2010).

The application of the Fee implements the regulation of tourist flows, and its proceeds are used to finance tourism-related interventions, including those for the maintenance, enjoyment and rehabilitation of local cultural and environmental heritage and related local public facilities.

For the year 2025, on a trial basis, there will be no request for exemption or payment of the Access Fee for those going to one of the minor islands of the lagoon.
