CNN —Venice has finally revealed the details for its entrance fee, making it the first city in the world to charge daytripper visitors.
But this isn’t a permanent move yet – the Venice authorities have committed to a 30-day “experiment,” according to mayor Luigi Brugnaro, who shared the news on Twitter/X.
Daytrippers over the age of 14 entering the “old city” of Venice – the entirety of the lagoon city – will have to pay.

Venice may be the first city to introduce a fee, but already one village in Italy has introduced a charge for daytrippers.
