Backlash to Venice’s €5 tourist fee from residents, tourists and former mayor as it kicks off
The Venice Access Fee is a pay-to-enter charge specifically aimed at day visitors following years of debates around the topic of over tourism. From April 25, tourists planning to touch down for the day will have to pay €5 (£4.30). Residents, commuters, students and children under 14 will be exempt, as will tourists staying overnight.
