Next year, Venice is set to experiment with the implementation of a €5 entrance fee for short-term visitors and excursionists, in a bid to balance the influx of visitors, announced the city council. 

The charge will be introduced on a trial basis for 30 days, predominantly during the spring holidays and summer weekends when the city sees its highest numbers of tourists. 

The fee will be applicable to all visitors aged 14 and above. According to the official statement, the aim is to strike a new balance between the rights of those who live, study, or work in Venice and those who visit the iconic city.
