Venice’s pilot plan to curb overtourism by charging an entry fee to its famed canals will come into effect on April 25, 2024.
Day-trippers will have to pay INR 445 on selected dates from April to July this year. The fee only applies to tourists on day trips from the hours of 8:30AM to 4PM. City residents, children under the age of 14 and disabled visitors together with their carers are exempted from paying the fee, among others. Residents of the surrounding Veneto region are also not required to pay the entry fee but must request an exemption from the booking website.
