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.

Festa di San Marco

The feast of San Marco in Venice is one of the most important celebrations of the city held every 25th April with events, parades and concerts. It is an ancient tradition linked to the historic piercing of the remains of San Marco, saint patron of the city, from the tomb of Alexandria of Egypt to La Serenissima. Legend wants that in the distant January 31 of 828 the remains of Marco were hidden between the meat and fruit considered impure by the Muslims who let it pass without too many checks.
