Venice mulls raising tourist day-ticket to €30, extending levy period

Venetian authorities are weighing an increase in the tourist day-ticket to €30 and extending its application across more of the year, per a senior official. The measure, if adopted, would mark a further tightening of the city's visitor-management policy, which began with a pilot in 2024. It signals a broader trend of European tourist hubs using pricing to curb overtourism, with potential implications for travel demand and local economic activity.
