Venice plans to charge day-trippers on 72 days in 2027. Here's when you pay, and when you don't 🛶
My tip: stay one night. Overnight guests don't pay the day fee, and Venice after 16:00 is a different city.
📍 When: in 2026 it ran only on fee days, 08:30 to 16:00. Arrive after 16:00 and there's nothing to pay
📍 How much: €5 if you book at least four days ahead, €10 after that
📍 Where: only the historic centre. Burano, Murano and the Lido are free, and so is passing through the station
📍 Who's exempt: under-14s, overnight guests and Veneto residents. Most exempt visitors still need a free QR code
In 2026 the fee ran on 60 days, 3 April to 26 July, and nothing is charged right now. For 2027 the city council has approved 72 days starting on Good Friday, 26 March, with a day fee of up to €10. Rome still has to approve it and the exact dates aren't published, so check before you book spring. On fee days, entering without a QR code means a fine.
