The city of Venice, Italy, has announced plans to increase the number of days on which tourists will be charged an entry fee in 2025. The decision follows a trial period in 2024 when the tourist tax was applied for 29 days between April and July.

In 2025, the tax will be imposed for 54 days, specifically every Friday to Sunday and on public holidays from April 18 to July 27. Day-trippers who book ahead will pay a fee of five euros (approximately $5.40), while those booking less than four days in advance will face a charge of ten euros.

Before its trial run in 2024, the tourist tax faced significant debate and delays but was eventually launched in April. During this period, visitors entering before 8:30 a.m., after 4 p.m., or staying at hotels with paid lodging taxes were exempt from the fee. Non-compliant visitors risked fines ranging from fifty to three hundred euros during random checks—a policy expected to continue next year.

Despite not significantly reducing visitor numbers—an average of seventy-five thousand people visited daily during the initial eleven days—the trial generated approximately 2.4 million euros in revenue. This income is earmarked for essential services like garbage removal and canal maintenance within Venice.

Mayor Luigi Brugnaro and Deputy Mayor Assessore Simone Venturini had previously indicated that the tax would persist with potentially increased enforcement measures. According to Brugnaro, further analysis is needed to determine if the scheme achieved financial balance.
