Venice, Italy has approved a €5 daily entrance fee

City council member for tourism Simone Venturini says the trial will run during peak tourist periods next year.
"Venice is among the most visited European cities... [and so] suffers the most from excess tourism," he said.
Over-tourism is widely recognised as an urgent issue for Venice.
The city is just 7.6 sq km (2.7 sq miles) in size, but it hosted almost 13 million tourists in 2019, according to the Italian national statistics institute. Numbers of visitors are expected to exceed pre-pandemic levels in the coming years.
"The objective is to invite daily tourists to choose [off-peak] days," Mr Venturini said. Tourists who stay overnight in the city will be exempt.
"We want to test [the fee] and, if needed, improve it. We cannot discuss for [an]other 40 years what's best to do."
