Venice Tourist Tax

All visitors who stay in an accommodation facility within the territory of the Municipality of Venice have to pay the Tourist tax. The collected funds will help the City improve the quality of the tourist services and finance works aimed at maintaining.

Every year more than 20 million visitors are amazed at the sight of Venice. With a small sum of money even you will become one of the City’s sponsors, contributing to safeguarding it. The collected funds will help the City improve the quality of the tourist services (transport, museums, events,…) and finance works aimed at maintaining, using and salvaging the city’s cultural and architectural heritage. Thank you for being Venice’s sponsors.

The tax, which will not be charged on residents, will be levied on the first five consecutive nights of any overnight stay. Tariffs will vary according to season (there will be two fares, one for low and on for high season), location (three areas have been identified: Venice old town, the islands and the mainland) and to the type of accommodation (hotels, b&b, campsites, holiday village, etc). In fact, there is a series of tax reductions foreseen for accommodation facilities located on the islands in the Lagoon (30%) or on the mainland (40%) and during low season (up to 50%). Children aged between 10 and 16 will pay half the tax fare, whereas those under 10 will not be charged at all.

But not only small children will be exempted from tourist taxation: no tax will be paid by those staying in youth hostels or other facilities owned by the City of Venice; by those assisting people admitted to local hospitals; by tourist bus drives and tour leaders of larger groups (25 people at least); by volunteer and security forces on duty. Reductions will be cumulative: each discount percentage will be applied to the full tax fare one after another.
