Venice considering raising tourist entry fee to $34
- Venice is exploring plans to raise its tourist entry fee to as much as €30, as city officials seek to strengthen the measure's deterrent effect against overtourism.
- Budget and taxation councillor Michele Zuin said the current €5 to €10 fee is too low to safeguard against overtourism, with a new pricing structure under discussion for 2027.
- During 2026, the scheme operated on designated dates between April 3 and July 26, raising more than €5.2 million from nearly 680,000 ticket sales for city coffers.
- Mayor Simone Venturini advocated for surge pricing based on demand, noting the city spends €100 million annually on maintenance costs not covered by the Italian state.
- While councillors noted talk of fees reaching €50, authorities indicated they could settle for a maximum charge of €30, pending agreement with the national government for 2027.
