It's unusual for cities to demand entry fees. But in early 2023, one of the most visited, oldest and most at risk cities in the world will do just that—an attempt to stem the tide and manage its tourism in a more sustainable way.


The Venice Access Fee, targeting "hit-and-run" day-trippers on specific high-traffic days, exempts numerous visitors who must register online, while some, like children under 14, are exempt automatically. Key exemptions include overnight guests, residents of the Veneto region, and visitors to minor islands such as Murano and Burano. For more details, visit Venezia Unica.


What do you think, is Venice right to charge an entry fee?
