PeterRS Posted April 20, 2022 Posted April 20, 2022 This news is about three months old but may still be of interest. Venice is one of the world's great cities and accordingly one of the most visited. Over the last few decades, the number of day trippers has increased exponentially. Apart from the occasional snack and a tacky souvenir or two, they spend little money and mostly create massive crowds that make it more difficult for genuine tourists staying in the city's hotels to enjoy their experience. From this summer, day trippers will be limited and charged €5 for access to the city for one day. Such bookings must be made on line and in advance. Ruthrieston 1 Quote
