How-to: the Venice access fee

All the non-local people over 16 years old must pay the access fee set by the Municipality of Venice in 5euros per day. Visitors who stay overnight in hotels, guest houses and B&Bs, who already pay the tourist tax are exempt. The objective of the tax is to discourage "hit and run" tourism on certain days of the year when the presence of visitors is very high. You can visit the ad-hoc portal http://cda.ve.it to manage your booking and payment. The QRcode released to you will be useful to prove the payment of the access fee.
