Venice access fee: when it’s free

Venice is a one-of-a-kind city, and visiting it means immersing yourself in a heritage of art, history, and culture. Since 2024, an access fee has been introduced to help preserve the city’s livability and support sustainable tourism. But did you know that if you stay in a registered accommodation within the City of Venice, you don’t have to pay it?

Staying in Venice comes with advantages

Guests staying in officially registered facilities within the Municipality of Venice are exempt from the access fee because the tourist tax is already included in the accommodation. This means that by choosing to sleep in the city, you won’t have to pay anything extra to access it.

How to get your exemption

To benefit from this advantage, you must register on the official Access Fee portal. Just enter your stay dates and details: in a few minutes, you’ll receive your voucher with a QR code confirming your exemption.

• The exemption is valid from the day of arrival to the day of departure (both included).
• Registration is mandatory even if you're staying in a hotel or guesthouse.
