2021 Venice tourist entry charge trial limited in reducing crowds; proposed 2025 increase to up to €10 based on demand.
Venice's tourist entry charge, introduced as a trial in 2021, had limited success in reducing crowds. The 5-euro charge for daytrippers on congested days will likely be raised to up to €10 in 2025, with prices varying based on demand, according to Michele Zuin, the city's finance councillor. The trial brought in €2 million and registered over 25,000 paying guests on some days.
