Venice's access fee for daytrippers applied on 60 dates between April 3 and late July 2026, up from 54 paid dates in 2025. Visitors booking four or more days ahead paid €5 (near $6); those booking later paid €10 (near $12), collected via a QR code validated at checkpoints including Santa Lucia rail station.
The fee was waived before 8:30 a.m. and after 4 p.m., and for residents, Venetians, students, commuting workers, and overnight guests. Non-compliant visitors faced fines of €50 to €300. The fee is expected to return on a similar schedule in 2027; travelers should check comune.venezia.it closer to their travel dates.
