“In the future, day visitors will have to reserve their trip to the old town online in advance and pay an entrance fee of 5 euros,” says ÖAMTC travel expert Yvette Polasek. This measure is intended to better manage the flow of holidaymakers.
Penalties of up to 300 euros can be imposed
In the future, travelers will have to reserve and pay for their Venice excursion in advance at https://cda.ve.it/de/. After successful payment, a QR code is generated which acts as a ticket and must be presented during an inspection. Anyone traveling without a ticket must expect fines of between 50 and 300 euros.
Children under 14 years of age and overnight guests who spend at least one night in accommodation in Venice are exempt from the fee. “It is important to note that overnight guests, if they do not receive a QR code from the accommodation, must also register themselves – if the name and address of the booked accommodation is provided, the fee is waived and they will also receive a QR code,” says Polasek .
People with a European Disability Card and their carers can claim an exemption from the fee by presenting their ID and do not have to register online in advance.
