Access in Venice will soon cost again – and more than ever: daily visitors will have to pay a maximum of ten euros in the future if they want to walk through the Italian Lagoon city in the Adriatic way for a few hours. At the premiere last year it was only half.
After the first test phase last year, the Lagoon City for day visitors was recently free. Now it’s over.
For 54 days it will be cashed in this year
The payment season of 2025 starts at Easter: in the first round the access from Good Friday to the first weekend in May is every day. A total of 54 days this year must be paid, almost until August. This is almost twice as much as last year. Booked via an online portal.
Book Vooruit, otherwise it will be more expensive
Five euros are due per daily visitor. But the reimbursement can also double. If a ticket is obtained in the short term, less than four days before the city visit, the reimbursement increases to ten euros. The exception are those guests who also spend the night in Venice, as well as children under the age of 14 and people who need care (plus accompanying person).
Large income from daily passes
With the model that was tested last year, Venice wants to steer the visitor flow better and be better prepared for a large holidaymate. Every year nearly 14 million visitors come to the Italian city in Veneto, sometimes 100,000 people press through the narrow streets every day. But despite the tickets, the number of visitors is not falling. However, the Lagoon City occupies a lot of money with the daily passes: last year it was 118,000 euros in the test phase with five-euro tickets on Friday before Easter week.
The limitation of the group sizes on guided city tours is new. A maximum of 25 people can be on the road as a group, speakers are prohibited.
Checks and penalties up to 300 euros
Incidentally, it is re -checked as in the test phase of the past year, at that time there were 75 inspectors in the city who scanning and thus checked the QR codes of the day guests. If you do not have a valid daily pass, you must expect a fine of up to 300 euros.
